todays temperature ???

[Keith Webb]

Melbourne is somewhere around 45.4 currently. We were just out in the car with the temp consistently hovering between 48 and 49.5.

Might switch to light jobs on the blitz until things cool down - rather too hot and windy to paint.

The air is full of dust and smoke from the fires, and we have a strong Northerly wind.

This is the current fire situation:
