It's not even summer and the Australian grid is having heart palpitations.
The Blob are in concert — blackouts might be at hand, and they want us to blame the heat (it's code for climate change). Let's get a grip, we're only talking about a Sydney forecast of 33°C (all of 91F).
The ABC calls this "sweltering" and files it under "extreme weather events". Channel Nine call it a "major heatwave", which it might be if it were London.
