Both European and Australian forecast models are predicting temperatures above 50 degrees (122F) just inland from the Gascoyne coast, which would be among the highest ever experienced in Australia.

A searing heat mass will see temperatures soar in northwestern Australia this weekend, with the thermostat forecast to climb past 50 degrees in some coastal towns.
The hottest areas will be the western parts of the Gascoyne and Pilbara districts, thanks to a west coast trough combining with easterly winds, which will bring hot air from central Australia.
It comes as Western Australia continues to swelter through the hottest February on record, with Perth already experiencing five days above 40 degrees this week.
