It's still breaking your national record. 30.8C is the hottest temperature EVER recorded in your country. How isn't that impressive? It doesn't matter if its not hot, it's still a record.
If we were topping out at 37C today with a chance of 39 or 40C tomorrow, wouldn't that be impressive?
It would still be a record, and I'd be absolutely delighted if it did happen!
Yea but it's still embarrassing. You'd think the record would be higher than that. Not even 90f.
Indeed. Our record high is 34.4C, but over the years since that record was set we've gotten within 3 degrees of that record more times than I can remember. I imagine it's the same in many humid, hot-summer climates where record highs are very unimpressive compared to the averages - Atlanta's record high of 41C is similar to Paris despite being much hotter in the summer, so I imagine it gets close to that a few times - perhaps someone from there can confirm.
Seems to be similar in Perth with regards to record lows as they seem to nearly break record low temperatures there every year.

Yep so true Chicago's record high is also 41c yet its average high temperature is probably within 4c of that temperature.
