Did it not occur to you to get wasted? If it was me , I would've gotten smashed on beer,cider and sparkling wine to celebrate and as an excuse to cool off.
Well alcohol makes you feel warmer though sippping a mildly alcoholic that's cold creating a cooling effect.
The first I drank, it was because I was outside at night in March and it was cold and someone suggested drinking would warm me up. Didn't help, but one drink isn't really sufficient.
Went there a few times to hire houseboats in summer... each time, rarely ever saw a cloud. First time in 1998, it hit 46C, lots of sun and heat as my childhood memory recalls, including one intense thunderstorm.
Went there again in January 2010 for a week... 36-37C every day, 20C overnight lows, did NOT SEE A SINGLE SHRED OF CLOUD!!!!
Loved every minute of it. I believe it hit 49C there in Feb 2009.
Renmark is a lovely town, friendly people, nice atmosphere, and has a fantastic climate.
It is a nice town, particularly with the river. I enjoyed going for drives on really hot days, which could be a bit trying, with no working aircon in the charger.
44C in the city and 45C airport on New Years Day 2006 during an very suffocating and baking hot NW flow - terrible indeed & never want to experience this ever again! Ivanhoe in the west of the state reached 47C.
The Brogdale national record of 38.5C has been questioned by Philip Eden and others who suggest that the real temperature was probably 2C too high. They prefer to quote the Kew Gardens reading of 38.1C as the new national record. This was discussed in this paper:
June 29, 2012. Record high temperature of 109 F / 43 C in Nashville, TN. This is also the hottest I have personally experienced. It was terrible, felt like a blast furnace.
35.8°C (96.4°F) was the alltime recording at our official weather station. But in the city itself it was even hotter that day, various thermometers showed 38°C (100°F).
Luckily, the heat was dry and a sea breeze brought the temperatures back to twenties (C) after 6 PM.
This happened on the 9th August 1992.
Highest recorded temperature in Glasgow, UK: 31.2C/88F on the 4th of August, 1975
Highest I've personally experienced here: Unsure, probably 29-30C
Highest I've experienced anywhere - Probably around 50C at Death Valley
