So what does our self proclaimed weather expert say about your climate ? He is from the US so should know all about it ?
Surely it doesn't get that cold, it's all a con
Is he from the states? That could explain everything!

I accept that a car thermometer isn’t the most accurate way to record temperature but the nearest BOM weather station to my current location is up in the Barossa, a good 30km away and a different climate to the river flats, so this is the best I can do...
It flicked up to 49 a few moments ago but I wasn’t quick enough to pull up and take a photo![emoji57]
Brr!!!!

No, apparently it’s still 44 under his verandah![emoji57][emoji848]
Apparently there’s a pub in Elizabeth which is offering FREE beer if it breaks the Adelaide record of 46.1. Which is dumb because no one works in Elizabeth and most of them are on the dole! He’ll go broke!

I’ll take the -26c over 47c any day.
Can’t even comprehend how hot 47c is.

And that's ambient air temperature in the shade . . .
Just imagine soil surface temps, steering wheels & car seats in the sun, any metal tools / spanners etc, anything in the full sunlight.
Bitumen roads literally melt . . .
Yes,remember the pic of the burn from the seat belt buckle.
The energy hitting the surface is immense.
It’s just coming light here and we have a couple of inches of wet snow which is thawing and dank murky cold conditions,not a dry cold,that damp cold.
Just lit the log burner and having a cup of tea.
Got to go out now to scrape out the cattle.

Currently living in a caravan, snow on the ground still and my gas has run out.
Still wouldn’t swap for Australian weather, unless I could choose Portland weather.

If you add wind to those temps, it seriously is like what comes out your fan forced oven when you open the door. Thankfully theres been no power outages today.....fingers crossed for tomorrow...I’ll take the -26c over 47c any day.

The other thing to remember, it isn't just a "one off" or only a couple of days then temps go back to "normal", it's continuous over many days / weeks & with little relief at night, with high min temps as well . . .
