I used to live in Adelaide. Seriously f that place.

I recall one summer, maybe 5 years ago, ten days straight above 35 with day time temps in the 40s. Trees were dying from heat stress after a ten year draught.

Ah, this is it, from 2009:

Adelaide, South Australia Edit Average daily maximum 27 January – 7 February: 40.5 °C (104.9 °F) – (11.1 °C (20.0 °F) above average)[9] 13 Consecutive days over 33 °C (91 °F) 6 Consecutive days over 40 °C (104 °F) 4 Consecutive days over 43 °C (109 °F)

That's right, 13! consecutive days above 33!
