42C in New South Wales?

Yes and I don't live at Broken Hill. We had 44C here a year or two
ago. I have been watering early morning and then retiring indoors,
in the last week I have used 30 kilolitres. Yesterday it was 30C at
8AM EDST (7AM sun time) and 40C by 2PM.

You're in Bourke then?


No north of Newcastle, not 500km from the coast more like 50km.

this is the nearest automatic weather station with full details:
