The official temperature at the Pocklebonk Walls Observatory Weather Station was 31.8°C at 15:22 AEDT with 6 m/s winds gusting to 12 m/s. Great bushfire weather. Waiting for the cool change...

Today was unbeliebable in west sydney. Nice breeze. I had the whole house open all day to let the fresh air in and not once did I use the air-con. Beautiful. Yesterday and the day before were a shocker though. We got in the 38c - 41c on the sensor under the veranda.

Yep its hot,
Our AC business is receiving around 60 to 80 calls everyday. We are turning away 5 out of 6 jobs.
Upto mid November we were receiving only 5 to 6 a day, so a ten fold increase in 2 weeks. Problem now is we don't have the staff to handle it and are booked till mid January. Myself and 3 other installers are busting our backsides doing 8 to 10 installs a day in this heat.
As usual 90% of punters leave it till now.
Smart ones get them in during winter and get good cash backs from various manufactures and cheaper installs.
I love winter, clear skies and 1 to 2 days off during the week to get into my astro addiction, then work hard all summer to pay for more toys.

Matt.

29 here in Auckland yesterday. Just perfect.
I'm sure you guys are used to it, but those 35-45's you battle with is just way too much for me. But then I'm originally from Denmark so am used to slightly more temperate conditions

I am with you JJJnettie you can always dress up like the Michelin Man. Before I go on I apologise for the image presented next but I prefer the cold over the hot because when it is hot you can only take off so many clothes before you cant take anymore off.

I was questioning that myself yesterday Al.
It's only been in the last few years that I find it affects me this way, since I got, you know, sick.

When I win lotto, I'll have my property in Tassie for Summer and another up here for Winter.
Wouldn't that be grand. Best of both worlds.
