Ah, that's right! Adelaide I believe.
They often have a week or two of 40+ deg celcius weather at this time
of the year.
Adelaide observation:
After a week or two of very hot weather there, they will usually have
a cool change, where the temperature drops about 15 deg. If you would
around the streets, you notice that virtually everyone is wearing dark
colours.
Why? Coz they have used up all their whites!
