Hi Keith

That was a good map, we had a similar one for the state after our hot few days, nice to see I still live in the driest and hottest state. When I start to feel too hot I just go on MLU and look at the photos posted by the Canadian guys, just as good as sticking your head in the fridge or taking the lid off the esky and taking a seat.

Cheers

Tony

Here is a link to a spot that will cure any ill thoughts about your weather in Australia. Bookmark it an have a look when you are feeling hot around the collar.
http://text.www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/...l?mb-52&unit=m

Not as good as a picture, but you'll get the jist of it in real time. Note that Thursday (jan 10/2013) coming up is an anomaly.

Default Weather

We could do with some of that chill here at the moment, Today is the hottest day on record across Australia, although the temperature here in Melbourne is fairly mild.
Howard sent a text message to say he had been evacuated to the beach where he is on holiday.

Hi Rob

I have placed it to my favourites, next heat wave forcasted later in the week so I will chill out reading the weather in Canada.

Cheers

we were on high alert here today because the hot dry winds were pushing fires in every direction around Tarcutta and Humula.

Default The weather is getting crazy.

Wow, fires burning across multiple states now. More homes lost in Victoria and N.S.W, and looks like it is Queenslands turn for the heatwave, starting tomorrow. Expected to be 37c in Gympie, so that means home here will be maybe 40c or more. We take Gympies figure and add 2 to 3 to that, for our area.

Police interviewing three early teen 'Papa Romeo India Charlie Kilos' about starting fires! At that age I was playing with Matchbox cars, not practicing my pyromania skills. What's happening to our youth? Not enough floggings early in life, I suspect!

I have just received a message from Howard. They are staying at Berrara which is fairly close to Sussex Inlet. They will be OK if the wind doesn't change.

This might be a universal theme. It seems that during the forest fire season in Northern Canada there are suspicious starts. The RCMP investigate and invariably there are suspects among the local hires for the labour jobs.
