Records could fall during SA heatwave
State heat records could fall during a four-day heatwave forecast for South Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology says.
Temperatures in Adelaide are forecast to reach 40C on Tuesday, 42C on Wednesday, 41C on Thursday and 44C on Friday, before cooling to 26C on Saturday.
"The record for South Australia in December is 49.1C in Moomba back in 1972," senior forecaster Paul Lainio said on Monday.
"We need to get up to those sort of levels to see records. It is possible, though, in some of those locations in the West and North of South Australia."
