WEENIES!! All you Aussies. 

Can't stand a little bit of heat now, can you?

Here in SUNNY South Africa, we are used to those kind of temperatures, and high humidity to boot.

Okay, bye, I am now going to hide from the Aussie mafia because I'm in DEEP trouble now!

Hey Maegan,
You're safe girl. All the Aussies have gone underground to hide from the heat, leaving the rest of the world to hi-jack this thread. Well just look at Cooper Pedy. They turned their disused mines into housing.

You girls and guys are wwwaaaaayyyyyy too close to the equator for our liking. I reckon I could bake a pavlova without putting it into the oven, where you are.      

It's amazing the relief you can sustain from just wearing a cool moist cloth round your neck. Cool bananas.

BTW, to translate on an international forum go to google and type in something like this 38C=?F.
That works for any measurement stuff. Money doesn't quite work that well as there is a rate of exchange.

So 38C is about 100 degrees F. Pretty hot for midnight. Probably about like Phoenix.
Your nerdly friend,

Yesterday I was in Adelaide, 45.1 degrees C!!!!  (113 degrees F).   Fourth hottest day on record.

It is going to be the same there today, but I'm back in Canberra where it will only be 40.

It is amazing how long it takes to select beer whilst standing in the supermarket walk-in beer freezer, isn't it?

In  SA, there is only one beer choice: Coopers..

 I spent half an hour in the walk in fridge.
Mmmmmmmm

Well;
In Melbourne it just reached 44C and its still climbing (that's 111.2F).
The forecast is its likely to top 46 mid afternoon.

5.30pm, a cool change is blowing after a week of 40+C, just got my neighbours pool umbrella landing in my garden, going from 43C to 17C tonight!  Batten down the hatches!

That is quite a drop, are you sure you are prepared for the cold?

I might need a fur cover on my bed tonight!

Darn, UPS isn't fast enough to collect my box!!!!

Heat hitting Victoria,

May the goddess help them

Ouch. I didn't even know fires could make their own weather before. How do you stop a fire like that?

Unfortunately you usually can't. Best thing is to get the hell as far away from them as you can.

Sydney has been lucky so far only hitting low 30s at the most with night time temps dropping a fair bit. (Whew!)

Cool change at last!

Cook 'em up
Fry 'em up
Well there you go...
Aussieges, Aussieges
Quite tasty you know

Tosser with a Barbie
Throw it on the spit
Well there go
That's darn good stuff
Aussieges, Aussieges
Give 'em a go
Rather quite tasty
Well yes, you know

Everyone cooled down?

Glad to see the temps drop today.

Yes about 29C and humid but wonderful.

Massive electrical storm last night

Electrical storm coming through Canberra right now, not much rain unfortunately. 

Dropped from a high of 38 down to 23.5 in 2 and 1/2 hours, but it feels much warmer than that!
