If you think the beer tasted even better this Australia Day there's probably a
good reason - it was hot!!!
In fact, the mercury peaked at 37.1°C at 4.18pm today, making it the hottest
Australia Day in Gungahlin since records began at the Weather Centre in 1999.
The previous record was 35.9°C on 26 January, 2003 - just seven days after the
Canberra bushfires killed 3 people and destroyed 500 homes.
Temperatures will remain high Tomorrow (Thursday, 27th) with a maximum forecast
for Gungahlin of 33°C. A brief respite will follow into Friday and
Saturday (maximums around 26°C), before the hot weather returns on Sunday (34°C)
and continues into the new week.
