Y'know? It's pretty sad when you begin to believe that "slightly below freezing" is a warming trend ...
 
Here are the key details regarding the hottest spots in Western Australia so far in 2026:
  • Onslow: Recorded temperatures reaching 49°C on January 7, making it among the hottest places in the world that day. It has been consistently cited as having some of the highest maximums during this period.
  • Marble Bar: Widely known as "Australia's hottest town," it has also recorded temperatures near or exceeding 46°C–50°C+ during January 2026 heatwaves.
  • Other Notable Hotspots: Shark Bay Airport set a record of 49.2°C on January 20. Geraldton also recorded a blistering 47.1°C
Well what do you know - I live in one of the 4 hottest spots in WA
It's 32C (90F) at 8.11AM - but don't worry - it's expected to reach 40C (104F) a little later in the day. No breeze till 5PM last evening, so it should be easily doable.

February

month following January, late 14c., ultimately from Latin februarius mensis "month of purification," from februare "to purify," from februa "purifications, expiatory rites" (plural of februum "means of purification, expiatory offerings"), which is of uncertain origin, said to be a Sabine word. De Vaan says from Proto-Italic *f(w)esro-, from a PIE word meaning "the smoking" or "the burning" (thus possibly connected with fume (n.)). The sense then could be either purification by smoke or a burnt offering.

The last month of the ancient (pre-450 B.C.E.) Roman calendar, so named in reference to the Roman feast of purification, held on the ides of the month. The Old English name for it was solmonað, which is said to mean "mud month." English first borrowed the Roman name from Old French Feverier, which yielded Middle English Feverer, Feoverel, etc. (c. 1200) before the 14c. respelling to conform to Latin.
