Here are the key details regarding the hottest spots in Western Australia so far in 2026:
Well what do you know - I live in one of the 4 hottest spots in WA
- 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
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.
That is plenty warm
Be safe in these crazy hot temps, soon be Autumn for you and hopefully the weather will settle down.
