00:00Well, when it's hot in Renmark in South Australia's Riverland, it is capital H HOT and today is
00:08no exception.
00:10It has recorded its hottest ever temperature of 49.6 degrees.
00:16Now that's a full degree higher than the previous record of 48.6 degrees in 2019.
00:25And look, I lived in Renmark for three years working for the ABC and I thought I'd experienced
00:32a Renmark summer, but apparently not.
00:34And I'm really feeling for all of my mates out there and hoping everyone's keeping super
00:38safe and trying to keep cool too, Jo.
00:41And what can South Australians expect for the rest of the week?
00:44Yeah, well for many parts of South Australia, temperatures in the 40s are going to be persisting
00:50for multiple days and that just won't be letting up for a while, especially in the arid north
00:54of the state.
00:55Thankfully, although we do have some winds coming through today, extreme fire danger ratings
01:02in many parts of the state, most of the responses today have been tree downs, thankfully, but
01:09emergency services have been at the ready and will continue to be throughout the week.
01:14We are anticipating continued extreme bushfire conditions in some parts of SA tomorrow.
01:20So it looks like that will gradually decrease as the week goes on.
01:25But yeah, much of the state will, like our mates in Victoria, will continue to see temperatures
01:29in the 40s and it won't be until Sunday until we get that proper cool change coming through,
01:35which everyone will be hanging out for.
