i'm so hot that i'm in love with the refrigerator

Current temperature: 32 °C
Currently listening: -None-

the insane weather has been on the front page of most newspapers this time around. everyday i read news like houses on fire, bushfire and stoppages of transportation system due to the heat. it was reported that the heatwave is most severe in Adelaide and the rate of sudden deaths among people have been increasing that include 19 people who died due to the extreme heat. the ambulance crews in adelaide were busy all day long with a record breaking 1325 callouts in just 24 hours and in a single afternoon yesterday, 80 individuals were admitted into hospitals with heat related illness. omg. this heat is seriously gonna kill more people if it doesnt stop. in order to protect themselves from the heat, people have been getting really creative. some people had even put their clothes into the freezer. lol. desperate times call for desperate measures. there are some others that laid on damp towels and some slept with a frozen water bottle. their creativity is just amazing. some experts in the field provided their predictions that the temperature in melbourne will decrease but not in adelaide. the heat in adelaide will not ease. sigh.
