Apparently us poor bastards in Melbourne [Australia] are in for the hottest stretch of days in 100 years... [bit tough for the Oz Open [tennis], too]....
Today it'll be 38...
Tomorrow [Wednesday] 41
Then 40, 40, 40, 30, 30.
Yes, that's centigrade....for those still in the dark ages that's [C x 9/5] + 32 = Fahrenheit....
Heat I can deal with.....cold, not so much. I dread those 30 to 40 days of winter we have every year. It seems like you have to put life on hold until the warm air moves back in......
Sydney, that's sounds like good weather.......grew up breathing between 60-100%+ water and I can't live without it.
For those of you dealing with the heat and no or little humidity....my condolences
23.37 ....day 1 of the heat ....still not King. [LOTR joke]
Darn intercoolers on Turbos....normally shut down in less than 3 minutes....today....more like 8. [I have one of those battery packs for jump-starting...cos the other day the battery was dead].
Tennis brats are hissy-fitting all over the place....it's hit and miss whether a match ends or defaults cos someone broke into a sweat.
Tomorrow [Wednesday] is supposed to be the hottest.....Wed night will have a low of 26....
I love springs... I remember those days of spring when I used to wander in colony streets in search of......
Well, it's 8.30 am here, and it's not as humid as it was here yesterday this time, and it's meant to hit 40 today.. I surely hope not
Day 2 of the heatwave.....
Got to 43.4 [that's 110.1] today at 9% humidity.....should get "down" to 29 [84.2] tonight...
Gonna be 43 tomorrow....
Spare a thought for those poor sods in Adelaide.... today was 45.6 [114].
That's it.. I'm moving into my fridge.
Huh, mild...
While y'all are sweating your off, on the other side of the globe we are up to ours in snow and freezing rain.
Yeah, we're not screwing up the climate at all.
Well, spring here, so pleasant, wonderful and lovely like....
Day 3 ....still not King...
It's nice being told one more day of it and it's a record hottest stretch of temp ever in Melbourne....
Got to 44.3 ...that's 111.7.
I'm not doing any work...the office end of my house has no A/C ....and drawing trace is heat sensitive [as is all paper] so if it's dimensionally unstable I draw 10 squares now it'll be 8 when temps get more 'nomal' [almost, not really].
Am monitoring comp heats...47cpu 44case ....not too bad [side of case is off].
Thursday night will likely be the hottest ever....haven't heard yet...but sure felt like it.
Jafo, my friggin' ARM is stuck to my desk! I HATE the heat
Heh, just go with that, Jafo. It sounds believable enough.
While I enjoy the heat, I feel for all the Melbournians. You guys just aren't used to extreme temps.
It's little better here though, but then again I'm in an air-conditioned office building wearing a light jacket because I'm a little chilly.
CHET, Melbourne is usually TEH coldest place Jafo is experiencing some weird ass, side effect ozone thingo, ice-age-sun-age Global WARMING, from us humans messing up the planet
in Winter.....yes.... ...Melbourne has great summers...when they kick in.....can sometimes be chilly up until Christmas...but Jan/Feb....lovely hot northerly winds..... though not good for bushfires....
nah....Melboure & Adelaide have always had some Summers with really high temps....my Mum was brought up in Adelaide...and tells of the high temps growing up....and the stinking heat... and she's 92.... while I'm sure we humans are having some effect....it's hard to tell what is a natural evolution of conditions....and what is created....all we can do is try and clean up our act, and the faster the better....and leave the rest to mother nature...climate change...is natural as well....
Tailsgirl....our [Melbourne} maximums are higher than Sydney....when it gets hot it gets hot.
Hobart is the coldest....and Adelaide is the hottest capital.
Brisbane just 'blows'....and Perth doesn't count ....
Catch the weather report from Hawaii: LINK
I lived in Brisbane, well Redland Bay, and it was NEVER hot, not how they make QLD out to be at all, in fact, Summer is MONSOON season, I saw more hail there than sun.
I agree. The further north I lived, the less hot and stuffy the Summers were (at least in the years I lived there).
Townsvillle was way less hot than Lismore. Lismore got these really horrible Northerlys which turned the (not-insulated) iron-roof of my little house into a perfect pizza-oven. Townsville got much more rain during the same time and everything had the chance to cool down again.
Jafo; the Australian heatwave was in the news here yesterday!
aufisch, Yeah Redland Bay isn't too far north, this was years ago, I remember I went to Cleveland High for a year .. worst school and state in the history of the world... ok.. so my 'natural' mother lives there [somewhere].. that state isn't big enough for the both of us.
Day 4....broke all records....45.1 ....but just got a blackout...so gonna be melting and offline for a while
Now a good news
The Austraillian claims that
has designed a new instrument for measuring temperature. It is promised to be revolutionary and never before in history of Science.
It is able to do various statistical operations itself too.
The only demerit being that it consumes a lot of energy.
And it is also said that its more accurate in measuring temperature than Atomic Clock in time.
Its only said though God knows the rest.
.
..........And that device is called Jafo
just a joke dont mind please
Back online....power demands exceeded supply....lost it for about 2 hours.
45.1 today is 113.2 F so we survived the new entry into the record books.
Tomorrow [Saturday] it's 'only' 35 or so ....so I'll go cycling....do my 50k or so....
Mad bastards, we Aussies....
Bunch of pussies more like
But Fuzzy....I hear you guys topple off your perches if it gets over 85...
That was our minimum last night.....
at one stage....it was announced by one of the tennis comperes....I think Wednesday....that it measured 65C down on centre court....that's 149F.....that's warm...
