So while England is in the grips of some crazy blizzard or something, western New South Wales is set to peak at 47 celcius on Sunday, which is apparently going to be the hottest area on planet Earth that day. not going to be fun.

SUCK ME SIDEWAY'S! 
Now that's hot! If I was out there I would seriously be in trouble. Red headed Scots just aren't made for that heat!

I'm having a guess that some desert will be hotter, but I am pretty sure it will be the hottest place with a population density above 1 per sqkm.
When I was down there this christmas we had like 40, and that was god damn hot. I hope you live at the coast!

maybe, but "The Daily Telegraph said a search of world forecasting sites confirmed no where else on earth would come close to the high temperatures on Sunday."
haha found this
DIARY OF AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEWMAN, WESTERN AUSTRALIA */August 31/*
Just got transferred with work from grey old London to our new
home in Newman, Western Australia. Now this is a town that knows
how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I
watched the sunset from a deckchair by the pool yesterday. It was
beautiful. I've finally found my new home. I love it here.
September 13/*
Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though.
Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car. What a
pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a sun-worshipper.
September 30th/*
Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks.
No more mowing lawns for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
October 10th/*
The temperature hasn't been below 35 all week. How do people get
used to this kind of heat? At least today it's windy though.
Keeps the flies off a bit.
Acclimatising is taking longer than I expected.
October 15th/*
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60%
of my body. Missed three days of work. What a dumb thing to do!
Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
October 20th/*
Didn't notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left
for work this morning. By the time I got back to the car after
work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag
and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes
and cat shit. I've learned my lesson though: no more pets in this
heat.
October 25/*
This wind is a bastard. It feels like a giant f&@%*' blow dryer.
And it's hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink and
the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he
needs to order parts from Perth.
October 30th/*
The temperature's up around 40 and the parts still haven't arrived
for the f&@%*' aircon. Been sleeping outside by the pool for
three nights now. Bloody $800,000 house and we can't even go
inside. Why the hell did I ever come here?
November 4/*
Finally got the ol' aircon fixed. It cost $1,500 and gets the
temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it
feel about 30. Stupid repairman.
November 8/*
If one more smart arse says 'Hot enough for you today?', I'm going
to throttle him. f&@%*' heat! By the time I get to work,
the car's radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking f&@%*'
wet and I smell like baked cat!
November 9/*
Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the
black leather upholstery in the ol' car. I thought my f&@%*' arse was
on fire. I lost two layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my
legs and my f&@%*' arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried
arse and baked cat!
November 10/*
Weather report! It might as well be a recording. Hot and
sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and f&@%*' sunny! It's been too hot to do
anything for two f&@%*' months and the weatherman says it might really
warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn place. Water restrictions will be next, so my $5,000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the pool. The only things that thrive in this hell-hole are the f&@%*' flies. You don't dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the buggers!
November 20th/*
Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 f&@%*' degrees today. Now the air
conditioner's gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and
said, 'Hot enough for you today?' My wife had to spend the $2,500
mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid
twit.. Bloody Newman! What kind of sick, demented f&@%*' idiot
would want to live here!
December 1/*
The first day of Summer!!!!

At least your skin isn't slowly being burnt off and your body being turned to charple while your loved ones trapped near you suffer the same fate.
