Real Climate Records

“NO HOPE FOR TO-DAY.”

MR. HUNT’S OPINION.

” I can hold out no hope of a change tomorrow.” said Mr. Hunt the Commonwealth meteorologist last night “Our records from all over Victoria show high temperatures on Saturday. In fact at all the inland places the readings were over 100 degrees Hie highest registration was at Horsham where the mercury touched 119 degrees. The high temperature at Adelaide continues. On Satuday 110 degrees was reached and at 9 o’clock this (Sunday) morning, the thermometer stood at 101 degrees Of course, the change will reach Adelaide before it arrives in Melbourne, so far we have no news of its having been felt in Adelaide.

“What is the Iatest information regardnig the change?” was asked “practically that we know is that west

of Eucla the weather is very much cooler than it is here On the West Australian goldfields the temperature was down to 69 degrees at 9 o’clock on Saturday morning. However, it is apparent that the change

is still considerably to the west of Adelaide.

The barometer here is fairly steady, which is also an indication that we cannot expect an immediate change.

“When may it be expected” I should certainly say no to tomorrow. It is possible that it mav arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The indications are that Monday will be as hot as today.
