Meanwhile, Australia's in the grip of an intense heatwave straight from hell

Yes, Australia is a hot place. But this weekend, it's really, really hot. Everywhere.

Much of the country is enduring an epic heatwave, with severe to extreme conditions along the eastern coast that's taking temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit.)

Spare a thought for the 38 people in Tarcoola in South Australia, who've already had to endure temperatures of 46 degrees Celsius (114 degrees Fahrenheit) on Thursday.
