Residents in the triangle are sweltering through their third heatwave this summer, and temperatures in some parts are set to reach 48 degrees Celsius over four consecutive days starting this weekend.

Bureau of Meteorology climatologist Blair Trewin said the triangular area had some similarities to some of the hottest places in other parts of the world.

"You're pretty much at the same latitude as the Persian Gulf and the middle of the Sahara desert," Dr Trewin said.

Dr Trewin said the hottest parts of the planet tended to be inland areas at 25-degree latitude north and south of the equator.

While it may not be an inland town, Onslow made headlines in 2022 when the mercury hit 50.7 Celsius / 122F.

Nah, you have bragging rights. Florida is one of the places I'm looking at eventually relocating to.

I'm a native Angeleno. No matter where I live, I'll always be a beach girl. Just please no earthquakes!

I had that once upon a time. Here I don't have far to drive down to the sugar sands at Destin.
