Man’s not hot (well, you probably are if you’re Down Under right now), but Australia certainly is! The country experienced record-breaking temperatures of 50°C in some parts of the country, with 10-15th January blazing some of the hottest temperatures on record.

According to the Australian Government’s Bureau of Meteorology, the heatwave looks set to continue for a few more weeks.
So, don’t forget to hydrate, apply sun protection and stay indoors as much as possible – you may also want to reconsider hitting the asphalt on your rubber fit flops or risk it melting like butter!
