Urrrrrr ...

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.

I water skied in Lake Havesu (sp) Arizona.
It was over 100 degrees, but the heat was
so dry, it did not bother me.
I can't imagine what you must be going
through with the temperature so high.
Do you pace yourself and try not to
over exert in the heat?
(I refuse to let you melt)

It's about 30 degrees here, which isn't so bad given that it was about 38 degrees on Friday. I'm envious of Melbourne's 18 degrees though. Although not to envious of their possible flash flooding.

Melbourne is all buckets of rain and people in jumpers and it is nice (a little humid)! I am sending cold winds your way!

35 degrees here (old money) with snow rolling in before morning.

...I think I'll take my weather, actually. Shall I send you some?

I'm not sure if it's dry or humid there, but in Florida when I lived there it would not only be hot but wet and muggy too. Right now it is 50 (old money) here in Virginia. I'm enjoying the coolish air and feel for anyone who has to go through any type of heat higher than room temperature. *hugs* Hope it gets cooler for you soon.

Hey darling! Sydney at that temp is not a liveable city. Bah! For once I am not going to one-up your hot - we finally got a cold change and a wonderfully stalled weather front, and a missing month's worth of rain in around 16 hours (along with floods etc). It's been lovely. I actually went and walked in it at around 8pm last night with C and C - rumours that I was seen dancing in puddles and singing 'Singing in the Rain' are not greatly exaggerated.

Wish I could send it your way, but it appears to be heading for NZ instead. I will endeavour to will it northwards.

I think the quickest source of relief close to you would be to sneak down to the fishmarkets and crawl into their cold rooms (don't mind the smell).

How are the fires going? BoM said the amount of energy involved in our weather this last month (from ridic hot to ridic wet and cold) is both exceptional and ridiculously high. Also, NOT NORMAL.

*concentrates fiercely on sending weather to you*

Hopefully your summer won't be like my summer, where we had almost 60 consecutive days of 100+ degrees heat. We're used to the hot Texas summers, but that was ridiculous.

I have to say that the weather is being horridly rude! You and Mr Brammers can always hop on a train and come visit the air conditioned Chez shushu if you need a break :) Its cooler here in Canberra today - so there is a cool change coming your way.

Like Abs said, we have had so much rain here the last 24 hours I can almost forgive the 40+ days. Almost. Hasn't gone over 17 here today. Rain even woke me from a deep sleep last night it was that heavy.

Actually the dust storms ahead of the cool change yesterday were eerily reminiscent of the bushfires. Not in smell of course - but then after a few days of being blanketed in thick smoke no one smelled smoke anyway - but in colour and lack of visibility. Very eerie. Made me want to run and check the CFA websites an make sure there were no fires around us.

Stay cool, hon.

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.

:O Oh my GOD.

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 hope you're ok :-S

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.

Good god. *wishing hard for a cool change for you*

It sounds to me like it is time to move, no one should have to endure temps like that outside of a sauna.

Blech! That sounds like no kind of spring I've ever experienced, thank goodness. :/ OTOH your winters can beat mine with both hands tied behind their back. Maybe if we put both our climates in a bag and shook it really well? *sends you cooling winds*

Not long now until you'll be in cool, damp Europe!
