A new heat wave is looming?
A large part of SA were put under a severe weather warning, but conditions had moderated by Wednesday morning.
Maximum temperatures are forecast up to 10°C above average in the southwest.
The mercury peaked at 38.5°C in Adelaide on Tuesday, making it the city’s hottest day since January.
Other regional centres reported higher temperatures with Oodnadatta, in the state’s north, reaching 43.6°C.
High temperatures, wind and dry weather mean dangerous fire conditions will continue in South Australia. More extreme weather events on DM, Strange Sounds and Steve Quayle.
You mean SARS-CoV-2. Let’s call things by their scientific names, shall we? After all, you don’t want to sound stupid do you?
40 years ago I wanted to move to Australia. Now, not likely. After watching how they treat citizens during the kung-flu baloney, I’d rather stay here, and prepare for war against our own traitors, perverts, and reprobates.
Abbott seemed like a good guy. I liked his brand of politics. Now, citizens have no firearms. No way to fight armed tyrants properly. Good luck, put another traitor on the barby.
