The unusual wave of heat which has been reported by telegraph from the north for some days past has apparently extended as far down as the southern coasts.<\/div>\n
Yesterday was one of the most unpleasant days experienced in Bendigo for many years, The hot \u201cliquid\u201d wind being very trying. The thermometer topped 80 in the shade before 9 am and rising steadily touched 110 at 3.30 p.m. after which a slightly cooler change set in, and lowering clouds gave promise of a thunderstorm, but it ended in practically nothing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The readings yesterday at Mr Credgington\u2019s were:- thermometer 9 am 81 12-noon, 102 \u00b0 3 p.m 109 \u00b0 6pm 99 max 110 min 69 Barometer\u20149 am . 29\u201946: 6pm : 29 8<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In the metropolis, the heat was intense the thermometer showing 111.3 in the shade at 3 pm. Since January 14, 1862 the mercury has not before gone up to 111, so that yesterday\u2019s heat was extraordinary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Governments astronomer is of opinion that a change for the better will take place during the next twelve hours. His forecast is:\u2014\u201c Hot, with northerly winds, probably changing to the south with unsettled but cooler weather.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
