Feelin Hot

Damn was it hot overnight here last night. When I went to bed at 10:30pm it was wasn't too bad, but when I woke up at 1am to take a leak my room was a freakin sauna! Turns out that the overnight minimum temp in Melbourne last night was 28.2ºC....a November record, just after I hit the sack, but rose to 30-31C for the rest of the night. Was 31 when I left for work at 5am this morning!

Some unreal overnight temps in other places...check out Mildura...39C just after midnight http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDV60...01.94693.shtml

and some more pearlers in western NSW:

And this place called White Cliffs in western NSW didnt seem to drop below 35C for the entire night!!!!!!!!!!!1

I've read on the BOM site that the record high overnight minimums in Australia were just over 36C set in Renmark and a couple of outback SA sites...so pretty damn impressive to see temps like this in November.

Too hot for astronomy I think! Wouldn't want to be raining sweat on my EPs

Another warm night here...

Hot weather just before summer is never indicative of a hot summer ahead. But the BOM reckon it will be warmer than normal. However, such predictions are to be taken with a grain of salt....predicting temps months ahead is basically trying to predict the future...not possible.
