Spare a thought for the people of Adelaide…
…who are in the midst of a record-breaking heatwave.
Today is the 11th consecutive day over 35℃ in the City of Churches (that’s 95℉ for readers in Belize and other backward countries). This is the longest run of days over 35℃ in any Australian capital city since record-keeping began.
And it doesn’t end there: the forecast is for the heatwave to continue until next Wednesday. That’s 16 sweltering days in a row.
And it’s not Summer, it’s Autumn.
Right now in central Victoria it’s 38℃. Last month we had 5mm of rain, and so far this month we’ve not had a drop.
And it’s not Summer, it’s Autumn.
We’ll all be rooned.
