The players are gone, as is the crowd, but the heat remains.

Saturday’s Australian Football League pre-season match played at Shepparton’s Deakin Reserve between Essendon and Geelong attracted more than 5000 people who braved a 37 degree day to see the action.

Saturday was the first day in at least of week of extreme heat when the average temperature in Shepparton was predicted to be 38.5°C.

The temperature today, Sunday, March 6, was 38.2°C and the present heatwave has been described by the Bureau of Meteorology as “severe”.
