Holy hell the current 14 day forecast for Las Vegas does not dip below 40, and I believe it has been going like this for a while before now too. Bunch of 44's in there. Could you imagine the Melbourne power grid meltdown?

It's going to be an interesting summer in NSW regardless, as they don't have as much spare generation capacity when compared to other states.

Vales Point power station has just been given a few more years due to the power shortage there.

So hot overnight too. I guess it's all a/c there, but jeez.

Ouch. Vietnam was in that range when I first went there, I was drinking a ton and still got deyhydrated because my body just couldn't absorb the water fast enough. It's also an extra shock when you travel from a Melbourne winter. I assume the Las Vegas dry heat would feel different than the humid heat, but it's definitely way too hot for comfort.
