I had heard last night that parts of SA exceeded 48 degrees yesterday (49 degrees celsius is 120 degrees fahrenheit for our American friends BTW). Lucky they breed 'em tough out your way huh KC?
Still, I find it funny that the national news broadcasts are only now talking about a heat wave. Weather travels west to east across Australia so the hot weather being experienced in eastern Australia now hit my city a week ago. We were tortured with 3 or 4 consecutive days over 40 degrees C (104 F) right through the New Years period. That's actually pretty normal for us at this time of year, but it's still brutal every time.
