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.

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.

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

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.

Bloody bigmouth she is :disapp:

Wouldn't need one by the sound of it...  :snigger:

Sounds like I might have to pack my skimpiest tank tops and see thru mesh shorts...

Only kidding (that would be a scary sight!)

Looking at booking flights for January in next day or so. :cool:
