OT - Heatwave

[Legbreaker]

Damn it's hot in this part of the world at the moment. Hobart, our southern most state capital at a latitude of 41.42S (about the same distance from the equator as New York) recorded it's hottest EVER temp today - 41 degrees C (106F) and the south east of the state is currently experiencing some very, very nasty fires. Just to put that temp into perspective - Mount Wellington which overlooks Hobart received a snowfall just last week.

But it's not just here either. Almost the entire south east of the Australian continent is experiencing 40+ degrees and some places have been at that level for the past two weeks without a break!
