    No expert on this but i think it had something to do with the very warm airmass at 850 hp in that the motions of the wind and atmosphere as the front approached were enabling some of that air to be brought to lower levels and as a result it would have warmed up even further ( at the dry adiabatic rate?) , and you would have felt these pretty intense gusts of hot air. I noticed it as well, surreal. I stand to be corrected on this though by some more knowledgable posters....

     

    Neither am i.. haha I know a little. But you may be right regarding the dry adiabatic rate. It was surreal. Thanks.

     No idea but it definitely happened here, the hot wind, at around the same time our temp got 37 on the Langdon bay weather station. But I think it was just a warm wind here, cause it was like it for a while. Made it very uncomfortable to walk outside. Even in the shade the wind made it feel hotter, and made your throat dry, and breathing felt hard.

    Same here, It was very uncomfortable i had to come in the house, It was like being in an oven for 20 minutes outside with the wind being so hot, Not warm but hot.

  3. Hi all, Question - Yesterday in Newcastle just after 4pm it was hot around 36oc with a very warm breeze, High thin cloud / Slight hazy sun, No developing Anvils or elavated shower clouds from what i could see. Then suddenly at complete random the breeze just changed to a very hot wind, In my 42 years i have known nothing like it, I can only describe it as a heater being turned on or someone opening an oven door, It was incredible, The heat in that wind was surreal. This happened for about 30 minutes then became a very warm light breeze again. Can someone please explain what this was because it was awesome. I have read a thread about a rare phenomenon called a heat burst where the temperature at ground level can increase rapidly by 10 degrees within minutes - This is exactly what i experienced yesterday. Was this a heat burst or Foehn affect perhaps? I have no idea. Thanks.
