Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 12:45 AM

Adelaide is experiencing its hottest day in 70 years.

The mercury reached 45.5 degrees Celsius in the city this afternoon.

The Weather Bureau says Adelaide's hottest day on record was 46.1 degrees in January 1939.

This week could see Adelaide equal its hottest heatwave on record.

The record of six days of 40 degree heat or more was set in January 1908.

On Tuesday Adelaide had a top temperature of 43.2 degrees.

The Weather Bureau is forecasting a further five days of 40 degrees or more for the city.

The State's longest heatwave happened last March, with 15 days above 35 degrees.

End.
