I was raised in Melbourne. As a student in the 60's and 70's the temperature often topped 40C. I don't remember being sent home, but I do believe that in more recent times a limit has been set, at which students are sent home to probably hot houses. I used to work at a paint making factory in the mid-80's, which itself generated heat. I recall they shut production if it got over 38, I think. So hot days in Melbourne are not new.
