But it is not regarded as a heat wave - not yet anyway.
Hottest place on Earth located in Australia as 'heat engine' cranks into gear
Parts of Pilbara and Kimberley surpassed 40 degrees Celsius yesterday but meteorologists say the temperatures will not trigger a heatwave warning yet.

On Monday, the remote Pilbara station Mardie reached 43.5 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest spot on the planet for the day, according to online world temperatures site El Dorado Weather, which collates temperature data from thousands of stations around the world.
It was followed by Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley, and the Pilbara towns of Onslow, Marble Bar and Telfer.
Australian towns took out 10 of the top 15 spots.
But it is not regarded as a heat wave - not yet anyway.
To meet the heatwave criteria, the BOM looks at the temperatures of both the day and the night.
When combined, they have to fall in the top 5 per cent of all temperatures across an average year to be considered enough for a heatwave.
These unusual temperatures have to hang around for more than three consecutive days
