Adelaide heatwave forces flight detour to Hawaii

A Dreamliner flight from Adelaide to San Francisco was forced to make an unscheduled stopover in Honolulu, Hawaii, for refuelling after requiring extra fuel due to extreme heat conditions during takeoff. Adelaide experienced temperatures of 43 degrees Celsius, a six-year high, with Port Augusta forecast to reach 47 degrees. South Australian authorities have declared a total fire ban in the mid-north with concerns about dry lightning and dangerous fire conditions expected.
