In summer the temperature often reaches 120 F in parts of Australia, but once it's over 100 it becomes moot.
Here in Adelaide we regularly have a week at time of 100F and it gets as high as 110+. Last year,we reached stage 4 water restrictions; no washing your car with a hose,watering the garden allowed for a couple of hours every alternate day. Heavy fine for breaches.
The government paid me $450 towards the installation of a new toilet cistern which uses about half as much water.
As far as I'm aware the highest temperature recorded in inhabited Australia is 140F, at Marble Bar, Western Australia. The town also set a world record , with the longest consecutive period of temperatures above 100F; from 31 October to 7 April 1924.
