Default 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.

Definately glad i am not down Victoria and South Australia way at the moment
High temps ,high winds always spells trouble for bushfires
Hopefully the predicted cooler change comes through sooner rather than later

Bad news about the family property plushy -hopefully you didnt lose property or stock

Not as bad as the southern states here temps are up to 44c in the shade but very little wind and very little humidity
Haven't even attempted going in to the shed today apart from getting the car out to take the kids to swimming lessons and having a dip myself

Here is a chev temp gauge for Keith (always run cooler than a ford)

Keefy are you sure that isn't just the radiant heat from the sidevalve's radiator?

I just had a shower (well it is Saturday) and the water temp was 34.0'c. From the COLD water tap alone!
