A hot afternoon in Brisbane!

Here's the thermometer in the shade on my deck at 2 pm today!
One of those days where I wish I had an air con!

And to make it worse, I've just returned from 3 weeks in cool Tasmania!

Cheers,
Stephen

I'll say it's hot, went outside a couple of times.....soon went back in to the Air'con....a nice 24'c.
I'd hate to be driving a car without Air'Con, on a day like this.

Col.........that's water I'm drinking to...!!

Tasmania has been enjoying a cooler and somewhat windy spring and summer, no complaints from me.

Send it this way. Just about had a gut full of the arctic summer here this year. Worst fail of a "summer" ever, Just about every day since August has felt like August. Went for a walk this afternoon, felt like a typical late winter afternoon with the slate grey stratocumulus, the muffled sunlight (when not behind cloud) and the cold southerly wind.

Brisbane and surrounds sound fantastic, real summer, watching thunderstorms while sitting in the balmy warmth drinking beer, better get the moving company on the phone!

I'm about to put a jumper on its cold out .
Not a fan of the heat , although I work in a hothouse , which has been getting over 40+ lately.
We have heating bills , you have cooling bills , there must be a goldilocks zone !

Dreadful heat,was 43 in the shade today.

Here is a wildlife cam image from last week.Handy
kit shows moon phase and temp as well as date and
and time.

I imagine it will be high temperatures shown when
pick up next time.

hot

one of my friends in queensland told me that most Queenslanders take temps up to mid 30s in their stride! . But today it was 45' where I was in Brisbane, and I ended up having to call an ambulance for a woman who passed out in front of me in the street. The ambos said the quick temp jump along with the fires is making it worse.

It has soared again to around 36° again at 2252.

Clear dusk, then thick smoke from Stradbroke Island, and now it is 100% overcast, threatening to rain (PLEASE do!)

Queenslanders having a whinge about the heat, like penguins complaining about the cold!

Take a concrete pill people, it's in the 40's for one day. When we get a real summer, it gets there and stays like it for a week, if you want to feel cooler, you look at the weather in Perth or Adelaide.

And that's nothing compared to where I spent my last summer, 42-45 everyday for at least two months, no rain relief, just dust, power would fail at least once a day, air conditioning couldn't hack the conditions and would not work.

Then to acclimatise me on the way back got sent into 55 degrees and 90% humidity for four days, I fixed my own air conditioner and spent three days not moving much.

Then back to the end of a Melbourne winter, car race meeting in Broadford where the temperature never got above 7C all day.

Bring back real summer please, I love lazy weekends sitting in my spa listening to the cricket.

Cheers
Stuart

42.7 inside at Yarraman yesterday and no a/c.
Ended up putting plastic sheet in trailer and filled with water to cool down.

43C is hot in anyone's language. The local shopping centre measured 46C

Humidity in Adelaide or Perth is very low on days of over 40
It was not low here.
No rain for short relief either.

Cheers
