Warning for the following areas:
Yorke Peninsula, Riverland, Murraylands, Mid North, Flinders and North West Pastoral

Safety Advice:
Extreme heatwaves can be dangerous for everyone.

Seek a place to keep cool, such as your home, a library, community centre or shopping centre.

Severe to locally extreme heatwave conditions will persist over the next few days before easing by Sunday as a milder southwesterly flow extends across the state.
