The temperature dropped to just 27.4C at Roebourne Airport at 5.32am.

"The mercury tipped 49.4 degrees Celsius in Roebourne yesterday.

The record temperature in the town was also the hottest-ever December day recorded in WA and the fifth hottest day ever recorded in WA.

The state's previous December record was 48.8, which was recorded at the Pilbara town of Mardie in 1986.

The Bureau of Meteorology's Neil Bennet says Roebourne's December record is just short of Australia's hottest December day."


Such extreme differences just a few hundred miles apart. How crazy is that! It doesn't say in the article what the normal record for heat is for the time of the year in Australia.
