The suburb of Penrith in Sydney, Australia isn't a hot destination for tourists, but it was a searing place — temperature wise at least — on Sunday.
Penrith hit a 80-year high with temps of 47.3 degrees Celsius (117.14 degrees Fahrenheit) at 3:25 p.m., just shy of missing the area's record high set in 1939.

It's a far different situation to the "stupid-level cold" (http://mashable.com/2018/01/06/bomb-cyclone-cold-snap/) the U.S. is experiencing, thanks to the bomb cyclone (http://mashable.com/2018/01/03/what-is-a-bomb-cyclone-weather-bomb/) wreaking havoc along the country's eastern seaboard.*
#SydneyHeat (https://twitter.com/hashtag/SydneyHeat?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw): Sorry, in our earlier checks we missed a 47.8 degrees C temperature recorded at an old #Richmond (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Richmond?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) station (now closed) in 1939. 47.3 today still beats the previous #Penrith (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Penrith?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) record.
