One day down, four to go.

 

Yesterday Adelaide reached 27 degrees and is forecast to reach 29 degrees (10 degrees above the May average) today and at least 25 degrees from Thursday to Saturday. Five consecutive days of 25 degrees or warmer - the first time in 92 years Adelaide has been this warm this late in autumn.

 

In 1921 there were six consecutive 25-degree days, from 13th May to 18th May. Also, if Adelaide reaches 29.3 degrees on Wednesday, it will be the warmest May day in 92 years. The May record is 32.3 degrees, set in 1921.
