 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!

Mid 40s here
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: Urgent Threat Message Kilmore East Fire, 2.45pm 07/02/2009 Urgent Threat Message for community of Hidden Valley Urgent Threat Message Camperdown-Danedite Road Fire, 2.30pm 07/02/2009 Urgent Threat Message for residents of Scollers Road, Caters Roads Settlement and Swan Marsh Urgent Threat Message Remlaw Road, Vectis, 2.10pm 07/02/2009 Urgent Threat Message for communities of Haven, McKenzie Creek Bungalally and Green Lake west of Horsham Urgent Threat Message Bunyip Ridge Fire, 2.00pm 07/02/2009 Urgent Threat Message for the communities of Garfield North, Tonimbuk, Labertouche, Robin Hood, Drouin West, Buln Buln, Tarago, Jindivick, Jindivick North, Longwarry, Longwarry North, Bunyip and outskirts of Drouin townships Urgent Threat Message Glendonald Road Fire, 1.45pm 07/02/2009 Urgent Threat Message for communities of Hazelwood South, Jerralang and Jerralang North, Jerralang Junction Urgent Threat Message Coleraine - Glenelg Highway Fire, 1.30pm 07/02/2009 From the CFA website

Hottest day on record
Wondering what a F15 looks like on the hottest day it's ever likely to experience?
There's a bushfire in the vicinity, it's almost 46 at the nearest weather station and here are the pics - the thermometer pic was taken before it exploded. Well it didn't really - we took it inside before that happened but the temp was what it had been reading in the shade here.

saddening news
Quote:
Very saddening news through tonight The bushfires have claimed 14 peoples lives so far To make it even worse some of the major fires are suspected to be deliberately lit -Truely a case to bring back capital punishment Our thoughts and prayers go out to those friends , families , dedicated firepersons and volunteers affected by the bushfires I am sure we all hope no one else will be lost or injured

Our thoughts are with you all.
The smoke has reached across the Tasman Sea to Otago in the South Island of NZ.
The images on TV are so graphic, with the towering flames and massive destruction in those small communities of ordinary people like us. We hope the weather provides some relief to the fire crews. Rob
