Australia is currently going through an extreme heatwave.
Today in Australia. #Heatwave #Aus
The heat is breaking record temperatures all across the country.
Meanwhile in Australia
This weekend, all 15 maximum temperatures on the planet were in Australia. In short, it was really fucking hot.

Australia literally feels like an oven.
Sums it up really #heatwave

It was so hot, cops in Queensland were ~literally~ frying eggs on the bonnet of their police van.
It's so hot in #Birdsville that our officer could fry an egg on the bonnet of his police vehicle parked on Big Red!… https://t.co/B1W41OpJCv
Animals were patted down with ice to keep them cool.

Australia is now the Eye of Sauron. #heatwave
It might be 47 degrees in New South Wales but it's snowing in Tasmania.
And while much of the country swelters, the Mt Mawson webcam shows a flurry of snow is falling but not settling… https://t.co/yHA3aDzZ3U
Australia, you're fucked.
When people ask me how I'm handling this #heatwave
