No relief for from the heat for a week

Another week or so of this sizzling hot weather is on the way for us across the Upper Hunter.

That is what the forecast is saying at the moment.

43 the top temp for most of us on Saturday with the only relief a drop to 34 degrees on Sunday before jumping back up again.

NBN weather presenter Gavin Morris said we can blame Tropical Cyclone Jasper heading toward the Far North Queensland coast.
