By Peter Bokulich

It’s summer in Australia. And things are getting hot. So hot, in fact, that they had to add a new color to the temperature map.

The bright purple there is for temps from 50° to 54° C. That’s hot. 54° is almost 130° Fahrenheit. That’s really hot.

How hot?

Too hot to pump gas.

Too hot to use your iPhone.

But maybe not quite hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.
