I'm actually considering moving there. I hate Adelaide's weather, and this is really taking the cake.

It hit 45.5 at 1:48pm, the second hottest day on record, and the hottest day on record for the Kent Town weather station.

Our weather is the best, when it's like this. When we actually have summer. Up till now I've hated this summer, but thank the lord all mighty for this heatwave.
And the best part is that they are predicting this heat wave is going to last for some time.

Thursday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 32 Max 41
Friday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 30 Max 41
Saturday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 25 Max 40
Sunday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 23 Max 40
Monday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 22 Max 39
Tuesday Dry. Mostly sunny. Min 22 Max 38

Next BOM update is in 20 minutes.

Hopefully the clouds bugger off.

Hot, dry, by the beach or a pool, with a few beers. That's my solution.
So I'm off to go check if my god brothers are home so I can lounge around in their pool and give my air con a rest.

Atleast yours works, ours doesn't at all.

A great way to stay cool is to take off all your clothes and walk around a public place that is airconditioned - such as a shopping centre, library, trains etc.

We should move this City to Kangaroo Island .

This is how the weather has been today every half an hour from Parafield weather station which is the closest to where I live straight from the Bureau of Meteorology.

- Take a tour on the bus or train, all trains and most buses are Airconditioned

Not even the A/C on the newest type of the O-Bahn buses could cope today.
