* Further records are expected to break as inland temperatures are forecast to reach the mid-40s over the southern interior, while sea breezes will moderate the heat along the coastal fringe.

* A brief respite from the heat about the southeast on Thursday following a southeasterly wind change, before temperatures rise once more into next weekend.

* Showers continuing along the northeast tropical coast, though on an easing trend today and tomorrow.

* Isolated falls of over 100mm have been recorded in the region in the last 24 hours, with more widespread falls of 10-40mm.
