Wow, is it hot or what ?
Its like walking into a blast furnace, 42 degrees in Melbourne. For our overseas contingent, that's 107.g fahrenheit.
Be nice and put a container or bucket of water outside, there is a lot of heat stressed birds about.
Hard to believe its only 21 tomorrow.

Already cold here
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
Monster wind storm hitting my place as we speak.
43 today, 42 tomorrow and 39 Monday. So, yes hot.
If Australia is a democracy why, then, is voting compulsory?
"What has changed between the arrival of the First Fleet and today?"
"Wearing leg irons is now not required."
35° here....just dropped one of my kids off at Summernats. Like a concrete smokehouse....
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Its dropped about 15 degree here. So it was like a less than a day tubo blast of heat.I am glad it was only a day.
When does the Australian Open tennis start ? When ever it is on its always 40

It was supposed to be a heat wave here in Tassi today, Tas fire service issued a total fire ban, you guessed it, dont know what happened to the heat what a fizzer feels more like a mild winters day
yeah when it hits you guys who are't used to it, it knocks you around
been 40+ here for around a week. The dry heat is ok but when it gets humid it's a bitch,
But i suppose that's normal in the top end
When I was growing up in the 50’s and 60’s summer was all ways >40* for days even weeks, I don’t know how record high temps have been made now days also car, shopping centres, pubs, clubs my old schools never had air conditioning. Maybe seasonally adjusted the new record temps??
I think the worst part is that we're not getting a chance to adjust as it seems to be going from one extreme to the other almost as fast as the hands move on the clock.
Last night the reading was down to 11c but by 10am it was 30C.

37° right at the moment here. Dropped the kids off at Summernats a while ago....I hate to think of the temperature there.....
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
43 here.
Thank god for air conditioning.
Penrith in NSW has recorded not only its Hottest ever reading but so far for all of Australia with a reading of 47.1 C or 116.1 F!!!
Knowing Penrith, it will remain high for many hours to come as it sits in a huge basin and gets little or no relief from any changes.

We're frying down here while North America is Stone cold,Niagara Falls is frozen solid.
I went to work near Penrith late one night in early December many years ago and it had been a typical hot day there.
The was a concrete equipment hut with a 6 x 2 raised concrete slab as a 'verandah' and I went to sit on it, I couldnt because it was too hot and I had to get an old mat out of the car to put on slab.
This was around midnight so how bloody hot had it been for the slab to be still so hot ?
