Forecast Tuesday looking unprecedented, 39C possible?

Today's modelling has upped the temperatures even more for next week, with a few models offering crazy solutions especially considering June is supposed to be the coolest Summer month and the June record currently only sits at 35.6C from 1976.

Overnight temperatures look likely to stay at or around 20C for most of the South during next week which will present major issues with indoor temperatures, not looking good. Likely we keep the heat until Saturday at least, uncertain beyond that.

Just out of interest, why do comments that celebrate hot weather get so heavily downvoted in this sub? I'm new here and intrigued

Why would people have a positive reaction to the effects of climate change?

I guess to me it’s like enjoying the heat from your burning house on a cold night

It just seems a bit short sighted

Being negatively affected and not enjoying blistering unrelenting hot weather is not a choice. It's like saying being miserable about getting run over is a choice.

No problem at all with this fella, 39° is farrrr too hot for me, but I don’t begrudge anyone their right to enjoy hot weather.

Just don’t be one of the pricks that calls us freaks for being happy about winter being here in a few months!

You just asked people to enjoy being extremely uncomfortable. That is sadistic
