THAT is h o t !

[Jim McCreadie]

A small beachside town in Australia's Pilbara region has equalled Australia's hottest day on record. At 2:26PM, Onslow's temperature reached 50.7 degrees Celsius. The town, around 1,400 kilometres north of Perth, took the title of Western Australia's hottest day from Roebourne airport and Mardie which both recorded 50.5C earlier today.
My twin daughters work fly-in/fly out on minesites in the Pilbara and are familiar with it's hot weather. Both said the extreme heat would have caused H & S issues, most probably "stop work".
