Weather
Another 40 degrees day forecast for today, but we have some good news for you because it looks like the rest of the week will be mid to high 30s, a little cooler than what we have been having.
An extreme weather index today, high fire danger and mostly sunny weather.
So, what do the fans do when they need to escape the heat? Head to the pubs and clubs of course with the best fans and air conditioning in town. And if you are wondering why it’s a little smoky around town at the moment, then you should read this story.
Again, stay hydrated today and if you need to fill up your water bottle don’t forget to check out the water refill stations in the CBD.
