A power blackout has left two towns in central Victoria to sweat out a day of extreme heat without air-conditioning, refrigeration or even a public swimming pool.

| The blackout has caused businesses in Nagambie to close. |
About 2,700 houses in Nagambie and Avenel were affected by the blackout, which came on a day when extreme heat warnings had been issued for most of the state.
Much of the state was baking, with maximum temperatures in the low 40s.
But AusNet said a fault with an underground power line was to blame for the blackout, which began this morning and was not expected to be resolved until the late afternoon.
