Hottest December ever, Hottest Dec day ever tipped

Currently just after 7:30am and only 20c, but the forecast is for 42c here in Melbourne. Should this happen, it will be the hottest recorded December day ever – since records began in the 1800s.

Total fire ban for most of Victoria. With the hot North wind – which feels like that blast you get when you open an over door, only it doesn’t stop – the bushfire alert is probably extreme. Fingers crossed that nothing happens.

Also, the weather guys were saying it ‘only’ has to hit 32c to make it the hottest December ever, on average.
