The Heatwave

MRobbo · Jan 28, 2009

At 11:45am in Melbourne 39 degrees (could well get to 43 I reckon)

At 11:15am in Adelaide 42.7 degrees (nearly up to yesterday's max, I still think it could get to as much as 46 there.)

It's times like these where my dad's obsession with having a really, really, really good aircon pays off. I'm actually almost cold in the house

...but I'm savouring it because I have to go out soon.

MRobbo · Jan 28, 2009

11:35am in Adelaide now 43.4 degrees(110 on the old scale) hotter than yesterday

I can't believe how much water we are getting at the moment. Fortunately the temps are heading down over this side of the country.

I had a crazy arse dream that it was gonna be 50 on Monday with a fierce thunderstorm.

Fortunately I woke up, looked at the weather report and saw it was nothing more than a crazy dream.

Though I'm not sure I'll live past tonight if we're expected to do much running at footy training.

OzBomber · Jan 28, 2009

Woohoo, 43 tomorrow!

Summer ftw. It's heaps better than winter. I'd prefer this to a 9-10C day.

If only this was next week then I could ask to have the day off.

MRobbo · Jan 28, 2009

At 12noon in Adelaide it has passed the Max of 44

In Melbourne it is just over 40

Here where I am on the Mornington Peninsula currently 35

A couple of years ago, didn't it get up to like 47? It was when Australia played England in the cricket. So it might've been 02/03. I think it was one of the hottest Melbourne days ever. Then it was meant to be something like 48 the next day and it only got to 20.

In Frankston it's 34.5. But 10 minutes ago it was 35. Hopefully it gets higher.

The bad thing about this is there will probably be a power outage and I won't be able to have the air-con on.

Incorrect. BOM site says max so far is 44.0 at 12.05pm.

Incorrect. I am watching the BOM site and the max so far for Melbourne was 39.9 at 12.01. It is struggling to break 40.

Well it must've been around there. Must've been 44 or 45. I can't remember. But it was over 6 years ago and I was only 9 then.

Finally just hiit 40.0 in Melbourne at 12.53pm

MRobbo · Jan 28, 2009

Officially now Adelaide's hottest day for 70 years

at 12:40pm currently 44.7 degrees (112.5 Fahrenheit)

red+black · Jan 28, 2009

40.2 Melbourne
44.5 Adelaide

geez, how hot can it get to in Adelaide?

I wonder when Adelaide last hit 45?

Adelaide's January record was 46.1C in 1939.

We always get Adelaide's weather, so tomorrow will be a stinker as well. I think I'm going to the beach tomorrow night. I wanna go tonight.

dude, seriously, where are you getting your data?

The Bureau of Meteorlogy site, which by the looks of it is 20 minutes slow, is showing a maximum of 44.5 at 12:35pm:

http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDS60800.shtml

Do you have a site that has up to the minute data, or data that differs from the BOM site?

MRobbo · Jan 28, 2009

I don't miss those stinking hot Melbourne days. Especially playing cricket when it's 40 degrees. I remember one day some one brought a handheld thermometer (no idea why) on a hot day and it read 46C in the sun. It doesn't get that hot here in Atlanta (though it is a lot more humid).

On the other hand, I like the heat a lot better than the winter days here where it either barely nudges freezing or doesn't even get there. Already three or four days like that here.

tx mate. i was looking at a "Latest Weather Observations for South Australia" page which appears to be a bit slow, whereas your link is "Latest Weather Observations for the Adelaide Area".

You would have to guess that Adelaide will easily hit 45 today. The max is usually recorded later than now.

I agree it could get to 46.
