For those feeling cold

Our local temp' here yesterday, 42c = 107.6f. Not far away was 44c = 111.2f. The state just to the west of us recorded a top temp' in the Nth of the state of 47c = 116.6f.
The small Island state of Tasmania had a top temp of 41c = 105.8f, the highest temp ever recorded there. This was in the capital, Hobart which is in the Sth of the state. A multitute of fires broke out. One fire in Tassie has wiped out a town, many homes & out buildings. 1000's of people have had to be evac'd, many by boats on a river or by sea as all the roads are cut & the fire was surrounding everyone. One person missing, thought to have been caught in the fire, unconfirned atm.
Our biggest state fire is at 2040ha or 4488 acres & still going. No major threat to life atm.
Just enjoying a cool easterly breeze now, great relief. Heat returns over the next 7 days, back up to near 40c. Our Nthrn boarder isn't getting this cool, they are looking at around 40c+ for the next 4 -5 days.
My A/C stopped working about 2pm, too hot outside. It worked about 10pm, cool by 2am.

Alright, Roy, i got your point:-)

We have extreme hot weather here in summer too, but I don't recall it exceeds 105. However, we would have 100 degree with 60% humudity.

My sis-in-law in Melbourne was just telling my wife that she was experiencing temp of 41 yesterday. Ours is around 35 C but it's the humidity of close to 100 that makes it extremely uncomfortable.

Our humidity on these sort of days is somewhere between 7% & 15%.

G'day Roy, don't send your lousy 2nd hand hot weather up to us like you usually do. It's a pleasant 30C. on the Sunshine Coast today.

Wow, weather is so unpredictable.

WOW, cold as it was here in the wee hours of the morning, -14C or 7F, I don't envy you your hot weather. I worry about a friend who lives in Tasmania near Hobart. - martha
