[size=8]Climate change at work' as Adelaide swelters through another hot night[/size]

RELATED STORY: Mercury hits 41C in Adelaide, with no relief until weekend

[size=8]Adelaide's ongoing severe heatwave is a first for this time of year and the "sort of signal you will see with climate change", a Bureau of Meteorology head says.[/size]

South Australia acting regional director John Nairn said Adelaide had never experienced a sequence of four 40 degree Celsius days during December.

The city sweltered through another hot night last night, with the mercury dropping to only 25C by about 6:30am.

Temperatures peaked in the city at 41C on Wednesday, with maximums forecast to be above 40C for the next three days.

Today's maximum is forecast at 42C with minimum temperatures predicted to fall to 26C overnight.

"It is an unusual event," Mr Nairn said.

"These are the sorts of signals you will see with climate change where we see the very high temperatures spread out from where they normally used to be.

Adelaide forecast:

Thursday - Very hot and sunny, 42C
Friday - Very hot and mostly sunny, 41C
Saturday - Very hot, possible late shower, 42C
"Unfortunately, this is one of the signs."

Three districts are in total fire ban today; the Mount Lofty Ranges, Lower South-East and North-West Pastoral.

Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens will be closed to the public due to the severe fire danger rating.

The SA Ambulance Service said it would put on extra resources over the weekend to help paramedics cope with the demand created by heat-related illnesses.

Paramedic Graeme Rayson said that while there had not been many extra calls so far, Friday was likely to result in more calls for help as the heatwave continued.

"Day three, we expect that things will start to heat up, as far as our workload," he said.

"We've got our pushbikes out and about on the weekend ... no doubt there will be a lot of Christmas parties and a lot of things happening in the city."

Mr Rayson said paramedics were well prepared to return from leave and come in on days off if conditions demanded even more resources.

Be prepared for the heat


Heatwaves kill far more people than other natural disasters. Adequate preparation is essential, especially for people at high risk such as the elderly and young children. ABC Emergency has a checklist of things you can do to be ready.
SA Health chief medical officer Paddy Philips said simple acts could save lives.

"Remember to check on your elderly friends, relatives and neighbours, because they can be particularly vulnerable, especially if they have any sort of cognitive impairment," he said.

"Back in 2009, it was terrible, but we did see some people who switched their air conditioners on, but they weren't switched to cool."

Mr Nairn said the high minimum temperatures made it "particularly dangerous" for those who were vulnerable.

"There is not much chance to actually get relief from the heat," he said.

"As we go through consecutive days of 40 and above, it just gets hotter at night.

"It can be impossible to sleep unless you have that very expensive air conditioner on."

Mr Nairn said a change was expected to move through the state on Saturday night through to Sunday, with maximum temperatures forecast at 30C on Sunday along with a possible shower.

He said it would still be "uncomfortable" on Sunday as heat in the environment dissipated.

Winds are also expected to increase on Saturday ahead of the change, posing a higher risk of a bushfire causing damage.

it is deluded to take anything that is presented as scientific "fact" seriously when the default position of science on anything and everything is "we just don't know"

the henny-penny approach of interpreting data-modelling is attune to doomsday cultists

so a thought to ponder while the same brilliant minds ( who gave us YK2 the world will stop and go back to zero and put everyone into panic ) has they ever considered that surface of the earth is cooling down when you take into account that the earth was a molten ball when born it has continued to cool and eventually the core will solidify cause as we know we dont have perpetual energy so it will cool . ah then what maybe then our future generation may have something to worry about .
but i suppose when they make first contact we will get the answers :-"

Putting aside the gross misunderstanding of what it actually was, Y2K (like climate change) really was a thing to be concerned about. It was appropriately taken seriously and things were fixed well ahead of time.

Interestingly, there will be another one of these issues coming up in January of 2038. I hope to be out of the industry by then but there is going to be some sweet consulting dollars on offer leading up to that date =p~

The ignorance of the scientific method & peer review in this thread is sad, but not surprising.
It is actually a reflection of the lack of it's inclusion in the secondary school curriculum or that it is poorly inculcated in students.

For those of you that talk about having 'only' 100+ years of data, that man can't influence earth's temperature and all the other ignorant phrases that I have read repeated ad nauseum from denial blogs, it might be worth educating yourselves on the meaning of the phrase 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants', as a starting point. Although I am not sure that the wilful ignorance that goes hand in hand with right wing voting, would result in one's enlightenment.

More nonsense from someone who reads too many books. Useless arrogant leftard.

Of course you wouldn't see the issue with a lack of data. It's as silly as measuring annual rainfall with one months data :roll:

No one denies anthropogenic climate change. The dispute is with alarmist reactions to a couple of hot days.
