It was a mere 30 or so here today, quite thoroughly bearable. In Adelaide, the city of churches and blessed public pools, it was nearly 46 degrees Celcius. That is over 110F.
THAT IS INSANE!!
Melbourne was a balmy 42 by comparison, and neither city is scheduled to drop below 40 during the day for the next several days, nor far below that at night.
Poor old Canberra is nearly as badly off.
Feral, Mere, Jamie, Emerald, and you Adelaideans, HIDE IN THE FREEZER AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET!!! Stop pretending it's bearable, it's completely not! Hell, come up to Sydney for the week, it's passably reasonable here.
Finally, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Even 30 is excessive...
Date: 2009-01-28 02:51 pm (UTC)I haven't heard anything on the news about Australia suffering abnormal heat waves but obviously this is, uh, Day After Tomorrow-ish.
Hang in there!
Re: Even 30 is excessive...
Date: 2009-01-28 03:13 pm (UTC)30 is icky but doable. 40 is painful. 46 is sheer madness. The weather bureau assures me it will remain only mildly revolting here for the next few days, after which I am off to New Zealand!

Date: 2009-01-28 08:55 pm (UTC)The house is like a tomb, because the evaporative cooler can only do so much - so it's better to just close it off and close everything up and hide. I'll have to turn my laptop off shortly because it will just make the living room hot.
It's 7.53am and already 33.7. We're expecting at least 43 for the next two days.
I want to emigrate to the UK nao puhleeze?

Date: 2009-01-28 09:18 pm (UTC)There is so much snow on the ground here they had to shut down my school half way through the day because the road and sidewalk conditions were so bad!
I'm just curious, is it really humid where you are as well? Like I used to live in the desert and it would get up to 110, but it felt better than in like 85 degree weather with humidity! It is most strange I think...

You are right, there's that fucker in Adelaide who says it is all sunspots. Clearly, this is the planet showing him what is what.
no subject
Date: 2009-02-01 09:20 am (UTC)Do you have the address of this fucker? I'll sort out his sunspots next time I'm in Adelaide.
I miss you. Have a fantastic time in NZ. I believe it is true that their sheep are trained to attack and eat foreigners.
