Today, the 29th of Nov the forecast is for 38C.
It was only 21 days ago that a local farmer had calves frozen to death, buried under 9ft of hail. The calves were sheltering in a gully from the storm. They had the photos on the front page of the local paper.
Crazy.

weird huh!
just cant predict the weather...

I think today is the 11th day in a row over 30ºc and its not even Summer time yet.

cheers

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Imagine how much hotter it would be if it was summer. Bleahh

[ving (David)]

i am geting ready for a mild sumer rather than a hot one...

[JimmyH155]

It's a sure sign that the next Ice Age - already 2000 years overdue - is imminent

[ving (David)]

bring on the iceage!

the ice age cometh!

[stephenmcnelley]

Thge end is nigh, we are all doomed

[Sausageman (Mike Boggan)]

Hit 40 C today.
Wow, was it hot in Ipswich QLD today.
It hit 40.6 and its still 39, I'm so glad to be home in the air-conditioning, and having a cold beer, I feel so much better.
It was 22 degrees at 5:30am when I left for work.
Today I wished I lived on the coast with the cooling sea breeze.
Maybe tomorrow will bring a cooling change.

I have seen reports that it is just not going to get any better.

Dont worry about the Ice age, its polar reversals that are the problem. Geologically they are a real event and have been measured on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
The nutters have got hold of it though and are having a great run with it at the moment. But you just cant beat a good conspiracy theory, I love em.

We just had a hail storm, about 1 Cm size followed by a brief rain shower, with one big lightning strike that cut the power for half a minute.
Everything back to normal now, but still hot.

Mike.

I don't care if it's hot or cold, just as long as it isn't cloudy

That's Udderly ridiculous Ving

[h0ughy (David)]

got to 35 then we had a sea fog and southerly change in one foul swoop at 10 am! been 21 the rest of the day................................ ....

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Was still 39C at 4pm, on the east side of the house in the shade.
That storm this arvo cooled things off a bit.

What sort of wacko would believe in Polar Reversal? Sounds like they need to up their medication.

[Lee]

up the meds and decrease the dope I think!

Hi JJJ,
Polar reversals are a real geological event, I studied them as a part of plate tectonics at Uni when doing a Geology degree.
As the Mid Atlantic ridge widens and releases lava on the ocean floor it cools and up stores a record of the Earths magnetic field for that period in time.

By taking core samples while moving away from the ridge you move into older rocks and the core samples taken have shown that the Earths magnetic field does reverse itself over a period of approx 50,000 years so the whole process is a slow subtle event.

As far as I remember from Uni days they are a sporadic event with the last one occuring a few million years ago.

But I suppose conspiracy theorists have to eat as well.


cheers
