Australia is in the grips of a severe Heatwave. I live in the Adelaide Hills, where the temperature today reached 44 degrees C. This is now the 4th day in a row where the temperature has been above 40 degrees C. In some parts of South Australia, the temperature has reached 48 degrees C. This map shows temperatures across Australia as of 14th January. The red areas are temperatures of 30 deg C. The light brown areas are temperatures of 42 degrees C. The dark brown areas are temperatures of 45 degrees C. There have been devastating bush fires in Western Australia with over 50 homes lost and 1 life lost. Here in South Australia there has been hundreds of bush fires, with numerous still burning. One home has been lost, about 20 km from my home. There are also large bush fires burning in Victoria.
