Lol yep Morri..sounds odd but 50 miles south of Adelaide is a small island with a colony of Fairy penguins..the staff will be needing to keep them cool although they have open range to the sea..they just sleep on the island at night and hunt in the sea during the heat of day...hardy little survivors..unlike me loll

My favorite cartoon character as a child!
Jesus. Christmas at 46°C, that's insane. Thanks god we've got 45°C less. Atm it's raining, raining, raining. It didn't stop the last 72hrs. Hopefully Santa sends some snow for Christmas.
That was after I "downsized". Before that I was running that Traynor into two Fender bottoms: a 2X15 and a 4x12.
I experienced 40C in the concrete jungle of *Groong Tehp a few times & TBH it felt like I was going to melt right into the pavement a few times.
*Groong Tehp in Thai = city of angels, so Bangkok is a sister city to L.A.

Warmest temps I ever experienced were in the Persian Gulf summer of '79. Around 45c. Melting indeed...
I added one of these guys back into my stable. I’ve had B100’s in the past and I’ve really been missing this little workhorse. $289 at online from GC. Great sounding with a small footprint.
I didn't know the temperatures we were exposed to in the Arabian Gulf, but I do recall seeing water vapor coming off the ocean & evaporating up into the sky.
You could fry an egg in the sun on the deck.
Yep...we did that. CO approved uniform exception that allowed us to cut off dungaree uniform pants into shorts and just wear those and t-shirts when out at sea.
I'll let you know next Fri 20th if we hit that projected 46C and break your 45C from the Persian Gulf Biggie...i'm hoping the weather forecasters are wrong but going by heat experiences here the past few years I bet it will be the proverbial Aussie Stinker as we call those boiling hot summer days lolll

"Big" and "Man" sounds like what's required for a 2x15 and 4x12. "Ugly" is just a bonus. For example, two bass players I know enjoy arguing why only they were entitled to the nickname "Dogface".

That is such a kicking little combo!

Driving thru Pecos, Texas on vacation one summer, decades ago. I thought the ambient temperature on the dashboard must surely be wrong at 113° (45c). But, when we got out at a fruit stand we became believers in a hurry! Continued on to Carlsbad, New Mexico for some relief in the 90s.
Went to a drive-in movie there that night and got chilled to the bone!

I thought you should take a cruise to even further south- many degrees of latitude. I realize you run out of continent rather quickly from your locale ( thus my prior edit after realizing how truly SOUTH you already are
)Guess my point is your only option may be to go closer to the pole.
That was an interesting read on the "grid saving battery".
Best wishes for cooling and electrical relief
