It's been a couple of days of inside under the aircon.  Love the F rather than C.  F-ing C more like it.   :groan:

Sitting here now at 9:37pm and it's 37.3 C outside with very little breeze.

Edit:  it's just gone up to 37.4 C.  :wtf:

that is Hot Bob! was hot here yesterday too & humid, but just need to open windows to catch a cool sea breeze. the good thing for me in or on south coast NSW is water temp always cool, air temp can be hot & humid , but wind or breeze blowing over cool water is or works like air cond. 8.30am 23c 88% humidity was a fog this morning. they blame this hot weather, thats moving from WA. so thanks to the WA crew.
cheers

I heard they are predicting 46 for Adelaide today which, based on world wide predictions, will make it the hottest city in the world today. :sweating:

Well, I'm sitting under the aircon at 9:06 and the outside thermometer is showing 36.6 C.  I run a private weather station (Karoonda Weather) with its own website. Where I live is always 2-3 degrees hotter than Adelaide.  As I said in an earlier post, our forecast is for 47 C today.

Here's a link to my iPhone site (will work in any browser):

Should be an interesting day.  I shall be keeping :cool!:

Currently 17.2 C outside.  Maximum today of 24.

Stay cool, rest of Australia.  Yes, I'm talking to you Victorians and South Australians.

A reasonable 28C with a 10km/h Nor Easter here in Batemans Bay, NSW South Coast.  But this arvo and evening if the NE breeze drops, the hot air will come over the mountain it will get up to 35 for sure. Over the mountain in Canberra it is 40 today. :Shocked:

In the 9 years I have lived here, hottest day was New Year Day, 2007, it hit 45. :Shocked: :faint:
We live 1 km from the beach, was down there at 0800 for my 1 hour stroll, it was quite crowded, at least 50 people, normally, 2 men and a dog. :cool:

It was 45 in the Hills District (Castle Hill) that day, too, Lester.
My daughter and I drove back from Brisbane that day in her car. Got stopped by fires on the F2 behind Gosford nad drove back to Cessnock and Singleton then down the Putty Road to Windsor and home. Looooong hot day.

Exactly!!  Tasmanians pay more for Tasmanian Hydro Power than people on the mainland pay for Tasmanian Hydro Power.  Even though the Hydro Power is a "green" energy, we still pay Carbon Tax on our Hydro Power.   :head_butt:

Well yesterday's temps never got as high in SA as predicted.  My station recorded a high of 45.6C (the forecast was for 47C.  Today has started off very warn.  It's now 39.4C at 9:15am and rising rapidly.  Yesterday my station recorded its highest minimum of 24.4C.  Cool change is to arrive later today, but the winds have picked up making it a bad day for fires.

We have had a very cold day here in the UK West Midlands.

So cold in fact that Lawyers and Bankers have got their hands in their own pockets.

I suppose I owe the bankers and lawyers an apology - but they aint getting one.

It's got even colder now that it is dark.
There's nothing interesting on the telly until 9.0pm so we tried holding a conversation. However,  our words froze in mid-air and we had to put them on a radiator to thaw them to hear what we were talking about.

I am dreading tomorrow morning - she will send me up on the roof again to snap the smoke off the chimney.

We woke up this morning to a cloudless sky but bitterly cold.  My wife likes a bedroom window open all the time - hence the central heating stands no chance.

What woke me so early was the noise of my false teeth chattering in the glass.

I went downstairs and opened the fridge door to let some heat into the kitchen.

I hope I soon catch a fever - at least I will get warm.
