Several hours of purple ice tomorrow afternoon/evening/night

Is that the same as black ice? Here, that's what we call ice on the highway that we can't see. Scary stuff!

Nevermind. I see in replies later, it's the color the weatherman gives to the precipitation. Good thing they don't call ice green striped or you'd be saying "Several hours of green stripes tomorrow."

Camels a big issue in heat​

Feral camels have long been a problem in outback Australia.

Ms Fennell said groups of up to 30 camels could drink cattle water troughs dry in one hit.

"Then you get an air lock in your pipelines, and that's when things start to get really difficult with managing perishing of cattle," she said.

"Another thing with camels is they're really big and strong, so if the trough isn't putting out enough water quickly enough, they will smash things to try and get more water.

"They will also chase cattle away from tanks and troughs and they can get quite aggressive."

Tech can get too hot to function​

Ms Fennell said cameras were used to monitor water points on the station, but in extreme heat, technology could malfunction.

"They're rated to a certain temperature, but none of those temperatures account for what actually happens in Central Australia," she said.

University of Melbourne associate professor Behzad Rismanchi said most commercial electronics were designed to operate in temperatures up to 40C.

"In extreme heat, above 45C to 50C, sensitive electronics can overheat, shut down or suffer long-term damage," he said.

Find ways to stay cool​

Back at Jimba Jimba Station, Mr Baston said people needed more strategies for mitigating heat.

"If you really can't go outside for a long period of time, you need ways to stay sane, especially if it's a good chunk of time," he said.

"If the minimum is over 34 / 93.2F for a long period of time, that really knocks around humans and animals and plant life as well."

ABC Emergency has tips for staying well during a heatwave, including keeping heat out of your house and keeping yourself cool.
