It's much the same here, heat waves like right now are very rare but it is not unusual to go a week or two of low-mid 30's once during summer.
Considering Adelaide's Average Tempreature during the last 30 years December, Janurary & Feburary are 27.0C, 29.0C and 29.3C respectivly. Also the average number of days above 30C is more the 9.5, 12.7 & 12.3 respectivly. Also the Average number of days during the year which are 30C+ 54.4 and above 35C+ 19.4.
I am not at all surprised that the weather is hot. It is almost becomeing normal for this time of year to get 40+ degree days.
