Yea I'm with ya but just on air cons it's not like everyone has modern units etc. you have people that leave old bloody weatherwalls on all day unattended.
On days like today you often see old fellas walking around in long pants and flannelette shirts. Now, these guys were around before air-conditioning so do they know something about natural body cooling that most of us don't?

This has been one of the coolest summers I can remember. Wet as ****, but not particularly hot.

There were years in the noughties where it seemed like it was never going to rain.
I wouldn't have imagined a rainy summer day a decade ago

Climate change is a loose unit

In Adelaide a heatwave is defined as 5 or more consecutive days over 35 degrees Celsius or 3 consecutive days or more over 40.
So when the government come out and blame the current weather if we lose any power we can take them to task? Cause you know they'll blame the "heatwave" :)

There may be some load shedding over the next couple of days, but that always happens a bit during hot spells.
I'm not going to defend Jay Wetherill here, but what exactly is Stephen Marshall going to do about power issues other than his usual bitching and moaning and making lame commercials where he sits with regular people and pretends he's "got this"?

Pretty sure this is what 95% of the state is wondering as well. Really wish he'd come out and announce what they're planning to do.

Bert Lucas will use his 34 years of legislative council experience (only 8 or 9 of those in power) to #MSAGA
