Only 6 years after the weathermen needed a new color for just one spot of extreme temperatures on the map, this is how it looks when that color needs to be used for over 30% of the Australia's area. And that for 3 days in a row, starting today, Dec 18 2019 (like, meh, just a balmy 40C in Melbourne at 18:30, she'll be apples).
[40C is 104F and 50C is 122F --ed.]

That's just barely warm here in SoCal. When it gets over 115F in the shade I take off my sweater and wear shorts.

So you live in the Mojave? Death Valley? Not in Santa Barbara.
