Default Wow!

It's raining here so above freezing.

The hottest it has ever been here in the UK is 101 F, and the hottest I know about was one July at the RAF Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford one July when it was a baking 94. When I and a G/F were on a beach in Formentera, Balearic Islands of Spain, Med., it was once 108 F. That would be early 1980s...and since then it has snowed on the islands in winter!

I gather that in Scotland it has been up to 15 C in January, and down to -27 C, the lowest British temp.

We're heading for a top of 111F in Melbourne tomorrow, and being a Saturday I'll be out working on Chris' blitz. In parts of outback Aust it gets into the 50s C, or more than 122 or so F. But who's boasting!

You bugger! I was out early yesterday morning and the wind chill was something close to -30C... and it stayed that way for much of the damned day! I'd kill for hot-and-dry right about now!!!

So if we remove your wind chill factor and combine we'd wind up with something in the 20s, which is what we're expecting for the next few days from Sunday.

I remember when you last got on a plane in -22c and got off the plane in 30c. I guess that a -30c to plus 47c change WOULD kill you.

There's something going for the acclimatizing benefits of travel by ship, rather than a jet plane that can have you across several timezones, opposite seasons and hanging upside-down in one quick trip!
