Thought I would revisit this thread to remind our other side of the planet allies about warmer times

Today in my backyard it is overcast , strong westerly breeze and a mild 39 degrees c
roughly translated 103 degrees farenheit

quite glad it is overcast as it would be getting into the warm area of the thermometer otherwise

39 degrees is nothing. With wind chill that's what we are. Oh, wait, were you talking plus or minus? I'm going outside now with a couple of aerosol cans to hasten that global warming they keep talking about!

The one where the beer needs to be cooled and not thawed out to drink

Got another two days of this in front of us.

I am glad I now live in Sydney. When living near Geelong, 20 years ago the weather in summer was not as hot as it has been over the past couple of years. I hope the temperature when we are at Corowa is a little cooler than last year.

Ahhh, only 45.3 degrees today. Building engines in that heat isn't fun. Beats any gym workout I reckon.
At least the power is back on at home tonight. Was out for over 12 hours last night.

Bring on winter.

45.3?? 113'F!! Owch! That hurts!
All of SE Aus is sweltering at the moment...
This is the max temperature history for the last few weeks-
35.4, 36.4, 39.2, 41.4, 27.6, 29.8, 29.8, 31, 36.7, 39.0, 42.6, 33.6, 27.6, 29.8, 32.7, 37.3, 38.6, 38.8, 35.3, 36.6, 30.4, 34.4, 38.6, 39.3, 40.7
And the forecast for the next few days-
41, 42, 42, 42, 38, 39, 39
10 days plus over 100'F
I know these aren't the hottest in the world, but too bloody hot for me.
No relief or rain in sight either.
PS I hate winter, too!
