It’s hot in Melbourne right now. It’s really bloody hot. It’s so hot that the roads are literally melting. It’s so hot that a Bunnings Warehouse has been forced to do the unthinkable and cancel its weekly sausage sizzle.

Musician Bec Honey broke the story via a post on Instagram.

The news sent shock waves across social media, as users struggled to come to terms with the news.

Is it even legal for Bunnings to not have a Saturday sausage sizzle? https://t.co/DjFeRGlROL
