In 1999 I copped 47 Degrees C. Highest temperature of the last summer was only about 42 C. However, temperatures alone don't tell the full story. For one thing, 42 C was in about 70% humidity, so you can probably add another 6-7 to the temperature to cover for that. The other thing about Queensland heat is that it's totally relentless. If it's going to be 40 degrees C on a particular day, it will be 38 by 5am. There is no escape...
