Hot, Hot, Hot

Summer's Day

Another hot day, above 40 deg C (104 F), it is Summer here. Yes this is the second day in a row either 40 or above, I think today actually hit 42 deg C. The exact temperature doesn't really matter once you get above 40, it's just dam hot. This was driven by a hot Northerly wind. Here in Australia if the wind is from the North it is a hot wind, if it is from the South then it is cold (Antarctic wind).





In case some of you from colder climates are having trouble putting these numbers into perspective, here is a picture that may help. Yes this does happen.



It also means that you will burn faster than you think, so best to stay indoors with air conditioning where possible. No, not everyone here is Australia has air conditioning at home. The cinema's and shopping centres will be busy tonight.

Also, not all cars have air conditioning either, my first car which I had for five years didn't, I couldn't imagine going back to no AC. Once you have it and get used to it, very nice.
