Warm enough for ya ?

[Ian Robinson]

About 36oC here at 3pm.

Trouble with our big Fujitsu 2.4kW split aircon is it's a bit big for out lounge, dining and kitchen areas and it's gets pretty cold (even at low fan speed and set to 24oC) .... my fingers are freezing while I'm typing this and I'm gettung goosebumps.... time to go back outside for a thaw out.

Been outside to thaw out a few times, glass of icey cold coke with icecubes in hand (and to enjoy my shady gum tree from the from patio) , is pretty warm outside , but least it's not terribly humid , so it's actually quite pleasant out of the direct sun.

Will be a blessing tonight , if the forcast storms show up and it gets muggy., was nice last night to sleep with just a sheet over us and the back door open to allow any breeze through.
Nearly time to send the blankets and doona fill to the drycleaners for their annual clean and freshup.

Putting off going to the shops and a couple ofter errands til later this avo .....

I know .... you lucky bloke .... I'd love to live permanently somewhere coastal north of Rocky (on the east or west coasts).
How's the fishing in the creeks and rivers near you been lately .... ?

We peaked at 30.7°C at 14:20 today. That's pretty hot for Oberon .

It make a nice change after winter.

It was 36 degrees on our back verandah an hour ago! Not too bad.

But I feel for my Dad and the other RFS folks out in the heat and wind today....our local guys (at least 20 crews out there ) are containing a 72ha fire to the south. Dad is 69 years old and I must confess I am a little worried about him !

So the 36 deg. on the verandah is very do-able. Ther ares no flames or smoke there.

Haven't been fishing in ages...need to wet some lines soon otherwise I'll forget how to!!!!

I'd rather the winter up here....can't stand the heat even though I've lived here for 35 years. The hot weather can be very repressive and it drains all the life out of you. Winter though, is the best...best fishing too. The mackerel run at that time of year and so do the tuna. Kingies and trevally are around all the time, same with the jews and red bream/mangrove jacks.

Here in Adelaide we just finished a week of 35+ up to 40 on a couple of days. Back to 41 for Wed Thurs. Then showers for the weekend

[multiweb (Marc)]

Went up to 37c under the veranda this arvo in Hoxton Park. They had a fire down the road in the park land on the other side of the M7. Supposed to cool down tonight around 11:00pm but we're headed for a hot one in a couple of days this week I reckon.

[TheDecepticon]

It was near 40 all last week(very near). It was 41 on Sunday. At my home town where my parents are it has been 44. Can't wait for it to get hotter!

Hopefully its cooler by now!
I have delayed leaving work for 2 hours now, and I have to drive past your place on the way home, Ian.

Double Bonus, staying cool while I browse and boss is impressed.
Shame we dont get paid for overtime.

[matt]

It's going to be foul here, all week.

I have to say...I'm not a big fan of hot weather. Even less of hot and humid conditions.

I start to get uncomfortable once it gets past 27/28 degrees. I prefer the low to mid 20s...

But what can you do....

[Davekyn (David)]

I feel like throwing up it's so HOT...eerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr My air con can't cope with it!

[DavidU (Dave)]

I remember here in Melb on black Saturday afternoon my car external thermometer (quite accurate) said it was 48C on the drive home.
That was a very strange day.

[Bobbyoutback]

Nice 44c in the shade here today , my veggie garden is stuffed

A storm flashed past at about 5pm , a bit of thunder and a short shower of rain, no wind or cool change , changed from hot and sunny but not too bad outside , to very warm and stll and very muggy.

Cooler tomorrow and then we can expect the rest of the week like today or hotter. Looking like a hot simmer .

Perth gets to boiling point in the Summer

It was 36.7 in Castle Hill on the verandah. Down to 30.1 now (7:15pm).

At least the aircon in the office was working today. The last two hot days it wasn't.
