    This was around midnight so how bloody hot had it been for the slab to be still so hot ?
    And that's why there are so many record temperatures - in 1939 they didn't have concrete everywhere, heck they didn't even have suburbs in some places.

    The thermometers used at Observatory Hill are now surrounded by concrete that wasn't there during previous "records", even a Stevenson screen is not going to filter out latent heat buildup in concrete - but hey, it suits the global warming theocracy.

    So, are you saying that too much concrete is the real cause of global warming?

    I live 10k's east of Penriff. Last year we topped 45 degrees.

    Had to drive in the afternoon. Needed gloves to touch the steering wheel.

    I've been out in it the last couple of days, today I plan on staying inside in the air conditioning.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
