Re: will someone please turn down the heat

Yes, it does, and we do get heatwaves but the tempearture is not usually this hot for so long. Fine if you have airconditioning but for those of us don't, it does become very uncomfortable.

 

Keep your fluids up, Iza, its too easy to become dehydrated.

Fire crews battle blazes as south-east Australia sizzles in heatwave

Updated 20 minutes ago

 

Firefighters in Victoria and South Australia are battling to control dozens of blazes amid a scorching heatwave that has sent the mercury soaring in the country's south east.

The heatwave has brought temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius to some areas, and relief is unlikely until the end of the week.

Yesterday Melbourne hit close to 43C and Adelaide experienced its fourth hottest day on record.

'Like putting a gun to your child's head'
Victorian paramedics say they are shocked by the number of children left locked in cars in heatwave conditions.

 

In Victoria, aerial surveys this morning showeddozens of fires are burning out of control, most of them in the Mallee region in the state's north-west.

The Country Fire Authority (CFA) say more than 250 fires were started by lightening strikes overnight, and 15 are yet to be brought under control.

Victorian Fire Commissioner Craig Lapsley says crews are focusing on the Kangaroo Ground fire north-east of Melbourne and a watch-and-act alert has been issued.

A total fire ban is in place across the state until Friday.

Commissioner Lapsley says the peak fire danger will come on Friday when winds are expected to pick up.

CFA state duty officer Mick Harris says lightning could start even more blazes ahead of Friday's extreme heat.

"Obviously, with a deadline of Friday being very severe to extreme fire danger, we want to have the best possible chance of getting these fires under control by then," he said.

 

Victoria heat a serious health risk
