that would be 'in the sun' & 5aa would be 'in the shade' as that is what they give us as the tempreature

That's the temp they're giving out over the news clips, saying hottest temp since 1939.

It would be the hottest day recorded at the Kent Town station. That opened in 1977 and temperatures before that (1887-1976) were at West Terrace.

We might get the record minimum temperature tonight - forecast to be 32; record is 33.5. I've never seen a minimum low forecasted to be that high before.

I was thinking the same thing. When it hit 45.7 i was hoping we'd get that last 0.5 of a degree but it wasn't to be. There's always tomorrow

Been following this storm on the BoM site and it seems it's heading towards the Renmark/Loxton area.
Hopefully some much needed rain can hit the right areas without any damage to homes.

Our second child was born 5.00am this morning ... it would have been fun to say he was born on the hottest day on record!
Oh well, he'll have to settle for top 3.
