Highest temperatures recorded in Australia
It was previously thought that the highest temperature in Australia was 53.1 C in Cloncurry, Queensland, on 16 January 1889. This record has been removed by the Bureau of Meteorology though as it was measured using a non-standard temperature screen. It is believed that the temperature that day was most likely about 47 C.
