Australia WA: Heat builds ahead of front Sun 3 Jun 2018 - June heat has been building across much of the WA inland over the past four days. A nearly stationary high pressure system over the southeastern states has pushed dry air from the tropical NT into the state, giving much of inland WA day and night time temperatures 4 to 8° above the June average, and up to 9 above at Newman on Friday morning. While most coastal areas were below or close to normal, the high temperatures broke through to the Pilbara and Gascoyne coasts on Friday 1st. Carnarvon recorded a top temperature of 31.6 on Sunday 3rd, 8.1 above average and only 0.6 off its hottest June day in 72 years of observations.
