I just got back from my first trip to Perth which was the biggest heatwave in 20 years and the locals complained like Englishmen.Ah good. Came in to this thread wanting to see someone from WA or SA point out Victorians bitch about a little bit of hot weather and it's been done. Carry on...
44.5 in Adelaide. I'll take Victoria's shitty weather today. We cancelled a planned trip to the Flinders Ranges because it was going to be upper 40's. Ridiculous. Doesn't look like much respite next couple of weeks either. Don't mind hot and prefer summer to winter, but it gets a bit extreme sometimes.

As a southern Victorian, we just take any good weather and savour it. Crystalline sleet raining sideways on a July morning is never far away...
Yeah sometimes it seems to jump from pleasant spring to fiery furnacy helldom without a nice transitional acclimatisation period. 2 or 3 years ago we had 15 days in a row I think of around 40 degrees. Top that off with being the driest state on the driest continent, can be a tad unpleasant place to live at times.Adelaide really cops it bad. The next week for you guys looks like its going to be dry and hot with not too much relief on the way. Some people head to the beach in this weather but I think its not a good idea because the UV is extreme.

I've explained this plenty of times to Victorians. You just don't go to the beach when it's this hot. It's for "mad dogs and Englishman." You stay inside and, if it's cool enough in the morning (up until about 10ish) or the arvo (3-6 in WA, 5-7 in Melbourne) you swim then.Adelaide really cops it bad.

At least for Southern Victoria where I live there will be relief with a cool change coming through between 10pm and midnight. The interior will be still sweltering for another week. It won't last though and the heat will be back on Monday with a top of 39 degrees.

I spoke to two 70ish year old women this morning.
Both stated that it was consistently hotter years ago.

If you look at BOM observations that have recorded each day since 1855, then that is correct. I recall a looking at a few stints in Melbourne where temperatures exceeded 35+ for more than five consecutive days on many occasions. Doesn't seem to happen much lately although we still get extreme spike days.
Just out of interest, where does one find these historical observations? Did some searching but couldn't find a database on the BOM website...
so I'm always going to complain with the grey sand and oil-y water here.
today is melbournes 15th day in a row above 30c.....what shitty weather
Geez most days here in Manila have barely reached 30 this month and it's supposed to be tropical. Melbourne should usually have about 8 days over 30 in jan and feb
Humidity levels nothing to sneeze at either
Fairly moist up there MP?
