well typical cool Gympie weather is 35-36C and for the past month almost every day has been well above that with one day being 42C. My top orchid houses have recorded above 44C on 10 occassions and the best was 48C the other day. For the first time ever I have heat burn on some of the orchids. Almost no rain has been recorded by us in this period either with a total of about 5mm. So hot most rain is evapourating before it reaches the ground.
