    To quote Crocodile Dundee: “That’s not a heat wave — this is a heat wave:”
    “WORST DAY OF LONGEST HEAT WAVE SINCE 1880.
    118 Degrees In East-West Express.
    NO CHANGE SAYS OFFICIAL FORECAST.
    Yesterday the temperature in Adelaide was 112.4 degrees, the highest since 1912 and less than two degrees below the highest on record. It was the eleventh day of the heat wave, which is now the longest for 50 years. Adelaide was too hot yesterday even for trippers to go about.”
    ~10 Feb 1930
