Hi Dave
Certainly nice and cool in "the Gong" today, did the lawn and barely broke a sweat but the clouds are a curse.
There have been studies done on the urbanisation effects on local climate and it is not much of a stretch to work out that with all the extra bitumen and concrete acting as heat sinks and then slowly radiating the stored heat during the night, that it has to add to the overall rise in temperature of the area.
I'm sure the developers and politicians don't have a clue and / or don't care about the effects of replacing green space with tar and cement. I grew up in western Sydney, Parramatta area, and took it for granted that during summer there would be a several days that got over 38c but now it seems that it is an more regular occurance.
