00:00Sweet relief in Springfield as a springtime scorcher set in.
00:08Pretty bad.
00:09We are spending a lot of time in the water, eating a lot of mangoes.
00:13The mercury maxed out at 37 in Ipswich.
00:16Locals escaped to the closest waterhole.
00:19This is just, this is the go-to spot.
00:21We're always around here when it's too hot.
00:23Then we'll go home and get in the air conditioning, I think.
00:25Good idea.
00:26In the searing sun, they knew to slip, slop, slap.
00:29It's not even summer yet, so we're already getting into the hot weather.
00:34We may need to stay inside, keeping the AC on, staying cool.
00:37These animals beat the heat with ice blocks.
00:40This lizard had it all figured out.
00:44Brisbane baked.
00:45Hundreds swarmed South Bank.
00:47We have seen our warmest day since around March, earlier this year.
00:51Some brave souls worked up a sweat on their own accord.
00:54On the Gold Coast, they rode the heatwave out.
00:58I'll probably be staying in the shade, yeah.
00:59Keep cool, keep hydrated.
01:01The conditions called for the essentials.
01:04I'll just be here and probably go in the water for a swim.
01:08Ocean, back to the beach, the ocean, back to the beach.
01:11For these Kiwis, this is paradise.
01:14Soaking up the last of the sun before we have to go home.
01:17Spare a thought, though, for burly construction workers.
01:19A cool change took the edge off this afternoon, but relief will be short-lived.
01:25Temperatures are set to spike in the southeast again this weekend.
01:30So on Sunday and Monday, I'd like you to be right back into the mid-30s and possibly even warmer than Thursday.
01:34Out west and in the outback, it's already been an October for the history books.
01:40Still some records that are potentially under threat over the next few days.
01:43Leaving many wondering, what could summer have in store?
