The SA Country Fire Service has issued a total
 fire ban warning for most of South Australia.
Total fire bans have been issued across the state with many regions predicted to hit more than 40 degrees Celsius, following high temperatures yesterday.

Port Augusta and Whyalla, in South Australia's Mid North and Eastern Eyre Peninsula regions, are expected to hit 47C and 46C respectively.

Both towns reached 46C yesterday.
