There’s nothing like nice weather to make you wish you were at the beach instead of at work. <\/p>\n

Thanks to a heatwave that’s set to sweep the nation, we’ll be spending the rest of this week dreaming of sandy shores instead of using our time productively. <\/p>\n

Temperatures in all of Australia’s major cities are set to soar past 30 degrees celsius. <\/p>\n

\n\n \"hot\n

Sydney weather will peak on Friday with a 33C day (37C in the west), while the mercury in Adelaide will hit 31C and 36C on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. <\/p>\n

Canberra and Melbourne will also experience searing heat on Thursday with temperatures climbing to 31C and 33C. <\/p>\n

The heatwave comes thanks to warm air which is pushing down from Australia’s hottest city, Darwin, where temperatures hit 38.2C on Monday. <\/p>\n

Thanks to the heat, workers in parts of Sydney and Adelaide (sorry Melbourne and Canberra) will be within their rights to stop working when the mercury reaches 35C.<\/p>\n

The nationwide Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union previously told its 100,000-plus members to avoid working when the mercury reaches ‘dangerous’ levels.<\/p>\n

The CFMEU says workers across the country have the right to walk off the job when temperatures hit 35C. <\/p>\n

Guess we’ll be seeing you at the beach then. <\/p>\n
