This sounds like a joke...but I doubt people like
smofbabe are laughing much.
It is so hot in Australia (how hot is it?) that
weather charts have been changed to add layers of heat-intensity color. Based on forecasts, the province of South Australia is due temps exceeding 50°C./122°F.
The worst parts of South Australia are now deep purple.
Deep Purple: I remember when that was a band, and not the state of global warming.
And it is feared that more colors will need to be added, as forecasts might tip over the 54°C allowed for on the map.
Excuse me while I step outside into the 38°F/+3.4°C weather on the back deck to have a smoke.
