It is 41.5 degrees C, which is over 100 in the old money. If you hear nothing further from me, it is because I have melted. I make note that it is not yet summer.
Everything still abysmally soggy down here, but quite warm too (yes, yes, warm for a Tasmanian spring). Fruit flies and mosquitoes breeding in unholy numbers, house rapidly becoming submerged in rampant greenery, that sort of thing.
And some people still say climate change isn't real?!?? Also, that sounds worryingly like the kind of tenmperature that could kill you if you went out in it. Although I know nothing about that sort of temperature. *sends you rain clouds from Sheffield*
I think I should fly north for the summer. It's 9pm and I'm dripping. The study with the 'puter has no aircon, and though I feel a flutter of breeze outside, in here it's still and thick and wet. How's your ice holding up? Yippee! 21 degrees tomorrow.
Where did my Spring go??? It has hit at least 42 degrees here four days running (48.5 by lunchtime Friday)but my new favourite website Weather.com promises a max of 23 tomorrow. If it knows what is good for it it had better not be lying!!! *gives it the evil eye*
I have been very grateful for my a/c which I am lucky I do not have to leave for any length of time.
*joins group lining up to do that rain and cool change dance*
P.S. Are you sure you can't squeeze an adult human person into your case for your euro trip? Freezing cold rain and snow sounds like heaven right about now.
It's been pretty hot up here the last week or so. When I'm at work, I'm in a tin demountable building with no a/c only a ceiling fan. I need to have the fan on full pelt for it to even make a difference, if I have the windows closed it makes it worse.
Stay cool, maybe find a local indoor swimming pool or something, maybe invest in one of those portable air coolers that you fill with iced water to make cool air.
Mr Brammers has a portable cooler in the study, but I usually work out in the living room where there is more space. I might give up on that plan if this continues ... The BOM promised a cool change I hope you get it, too!
That pool sounds so good ... If there was no fire danger at the moment I would have dragged us up to the Hawkesbury where there is a wonderful old dam that is lovely and cold, too!
Tassie warm is horrible: it's your UV that makes you feel every jot of it. I am sure that the verdant theme will be delightful at some point, but filled with mozzies and fruit flies, it sounds like Brisbane ...
It's not a good temp to try and do anything in. Luckily, people act sensibly, the village was pretty much deserted today, aside from people going to the bottle-shop for ice or deli for sorbet ...
*Thanks you for your lovely rain clouds* *Encourages them to actually rain*
Halfway through the first bag of ice, and I've not even resorted to sticking it in a bag and slapping it on my head yet ;-)
THE CHANGE HAS ARRIVED! I am going to stay up for a bit to cool the house down before I lock it up for the night. And YES! COOL! If you fly north, I'll see you there ;-)
It's just arrived! It's nearly 1am, but I am going to wait for a little so that I can leave the house open for a bit to cool it down. There's a breeze coming down the hall – ah ...
