According to spellys list of hot days 45.7 ranks third behind two days in 1939 45.9 and 46.1. Glad i am only young.

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.

Spewing we didn't get there ... We have no choice but to endure this heat so we might aswell have scored a record out of it

[magpie in the 80's]

CH10 news here in the eastern states said the temp was 46 and is the hottest day in the last 70 years

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.
