IT'S SO HOT IN AUSTRALIA ROADS ARE MELTING UNDER 'BLAST FURNACE' HEAT
A heatwave sweeping parts of Australia sent temperature soaring to more than 104F, prompting authorities to warn residents to stay inside to protect themselves from the “killer” heat that is fueling fires and melting roads.
Saturday was expected to be the first extreme heat day of the year, the state of Victoria ambulance commander Paul Holman told local media on Friday.
"This heat is a killer," he said, adding: "It's going to be like a blast furnace tomorrow and you need to adjust what you do. You need to take care. So put off the sporting events, put off the outside events, stay inside.

That's Vegas in June. August'll hit 110-115.
The land down under is getting soft.
