Tiger sizzles on the green!

It goes without saying that Tiger Woods is red hot on the green, but this time I mean it in a literal sense! Today, Melbourne experienced its 6th day in a row of 30 degrees or more and the heat isn't expected to let up until Monday.

But if you're feeling bad for Tiger, spare a thought for locals in Victoria's north who, like their South Australian neighbours, are putting up with the discomfort of 40-plus temperatures. The hot air is also seering through much of NSW with Ivanhoe getting up to 44 degrees.

City slickers have also been left panting for cool relief with Penrith recording 38.8 degrees this afternoon. Thunderstorms ahead of a southerly buster have just turned Sydney's blue skies into an ominous grey, and Sydneysiders will get a short break from the heat tomorrow.

But keep your swimmers and sunscreen handy! The mercury is on the rise again with the western suburbs set to sizzle in 40-degree heat by Monday!
