Barry, well done on the solar panels- a good demonstration of the value of solar power generation being excellently compatible with a/c demand on hot dry days. Australia's heat record is a symptom of that well-known ongoing and worsening global problem... every year there is extra heat in the Earth system (we all know why), sometimes in the oceans, sometimes in the atmosphere, sometimes melting ice. It's not going away, but as it sloshes about the planet, it can concentrate in places. Heat records globally outweigh cool records by two or three to one. Like Russian Roulette, you don't know when it's your turn. last boreal summer it was the USA's turn, this austral summer it appears to be Australia's turn. Hope everyone stays safe from the bushfires.
