00:00 It's another hot day in Perth and these kids from Mekathara commandeered park sprinklers
00:06 to get some relief. But for others, midday is the best time for exercise, even when it's
00:11 pushing 40 degrees.
00:13 I love fitness and there's no better time of the day to do it. Condition the body to
00:17 the heat, just keep your socks up, keep your water up.
00:20 I don't know why people aren't out here doing this. This is it.
00:24 Memphis the white rhino won't be running up Jacob's ladder. He prefers wallowing in the
00:27 mud at Perth Zoo to stay cool and be protected from the sun. While an otter keeps the body
00:33 temp down with fishy ice blocks. The airport was, as usual, one of the warmest places,
00:39 but for some it's a nice change.
00:40 Came from Marble Bar.
00:42 So how hot was it there?
00:44 About mid 40s. Pretty standard.
00:46 Pretty balmy here then?
00:48 Yeah, it's nice.
00:49 On days like today, it's important to stay hydrated and to stay cool. One of the best
00:54 places to do that is here, Elizabeth Quay's water park. But the bad news for those not
00:59 used to plus 40 temperatures, there may be more to come.
01:03 Summer is certainly not over. We have got another month of summer left and that means
01:07 we are going to continue seeing that typical or classic summer pattern where we see a slow
01:13 moving West Coast draft and a high pressure system to the south of us. And what that means
01:18 is we'll continue to see hot dry days over the next few weeks.
01:23 Guys, watch the camera!
01:25 We've already seen three days above 40 degrees this summer with the rest of February to go.
01:30 Thank you.
