Yeah it's stuffing hot out there, lung burning heat :sweating:
Perth has now crept up to 42c, still 41c in Kenwick at the moment and we're supposed to get a storm pass through this afternoon or evening :crazy1:
-
Only for the hills, I heard.
But I hope they're wrong and we get it too.
-
Rain will likely make it very humid though, with any luck the easterly will come in like last night to rescue us :fingers:
-
Yeah, as long as the min temp tonight is under 20 I'll cope. :sweating:
-
You'll just scrape through Dave, the BOM says 19 for tonight and 29 for tomorrow :happydance:
-
If it does rain I hope we get a good dumping, enough to prevent lightning spot fires.

Absolutely.

Wouldn't a westerly wind cool the place down more? An easterly wind on the west coast would have spent most of it's time over the warm inland. A westerly would have been over the relatively cooler water.

We get the westerly (sea breeze) in the afternoon. It's called the Fremantle Doctor.
But at night time we get easterlies.
The stronger the winds, the hotter it's going to be the next day.
You're right to an extent, but the easterlies do cool the temperature down and can bring it down from the high twenties/low thirties to high teens/low twenties at night time.
-
The easterly's are quite fresh when they get here off the desert's night time cooler temperatures, seabreeze ( westerly's ) are warmer at night as the ocean temps are warmer than our usual night time temperatures.

Absolutely.
It's trying to rain, just had a brief 2 minute sprinkle.

Not down here........
-
It's cooling down now.
It's 6.00 pm and 34 degrees.
Still no sign of rain here.
-
It hasn't rained here again since it first sprinkled, it might make it's way out to Rick :undecided:

Possibly more chance of that.
Or else just confined to over the Darling Ranges which often happens.
I lived in the Perth hills before moving to Pinjarra and it was amazing how the hills could cop a full-on electrical storm that bypassed the metropolitan area or the wheat belt areas.
Anyway, I'd welcome a few inches right now.

You better be quick then :) or we'll just have to do another day trip :happydance:
Can we use your pool since your not there :D

Having lived for 12+ years in the Middle East I can empathise with you guys.
In Bahrain there is a law that when the temperature exceeds 45C all employees shall be sent home from work on full pay.
In all the years I lived there - it never happened once - even though thermometers at work and at home got as high as 47C - the government thermometer was the official measure.
-
Under labourers union laws here you are supposed to be sent home once it reaches 37.5c, contractors just work through it though.
47 is pretty hot, I think it was boxing day 2007 we had a 46 or 47 :sweating:

Bloody Nora,toughen up you princess's,by lunch time I have removed and replaced four struts on an Accent,then from 3pm till it got dark was stripping another car,tiny bit of heat and Ya all start whinging,remind me of my missus :lol:
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks Rick! I can always trust you to put a real spin on our situations.
I remember in the Middle East on my last "holiday" there, the air temperature was 50 degrees, and the deck temperature was 78 degrees (yes, all celsius). We still had to work. We couldn't wait for the sea breeze to cool the air either, as we were in the middle of the ocean!! The ship's aircon couldn't cope either.
-
I wasn't whinging rick - but I confess I got close to a mild perspiration when the temperature was above 40C. I definitely started slightly sweating when it reached 45C so I used to have a cold beer.
-
I would whinge. I don't cope with anything much over mid thirties. I better pack my nappy rash cream!
-
I'm not a whinger over temps. In Spain's -3.5 degree snowfields I wore tshirt and shorts, same everywhere else there for the past three weeks. Same shorts and tshirt I'm wearing in Adelaide now.
-
I know what Jamie is saying.....travelling around the equator area and the hot air is being sucked into the engine rooms and mixes with the hot atmosphere of the boiler rooms, makes a Turkish bath feel like an air condition office

Do you think they might be ready for a wash now..... :whistler:

I was expecting that. Currently living out of suitcases, laundry is a daily chore.
