It's hot in Perth currently, but next week I wouldn't want to be in Oodnadatta. Was there a few months ago. A few days later we were on Lake Eyre North & were quite cold & put on extra clothes.

43 days of constant rain in the UK

Don’t know about 50 but we set an all time record today for 3 days over 40 in December whilst not an uncommon temperature it’s very early in the season hence a record.
Looks like the beginning of 2020 is going to be interesting 🔥🔥🔥
I’m sit here writing this with the ducted air conditioning on and a strong smell of bushfire which is burning north of Perth. MY15

According to Emperor Mo we have had smoke before!

We might break maximum temperature records but the real problem is the shear number of days at extreme temperatures, & what kills people is when it doesn't cool down at night.

Victorian fires years ago directly killed 188, but another 374 died that week beyond normal deaths rates due to the heatwave.

In the outback digging holes for No.2s, there is zero moisture in the ground. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

-1 C in Ontario, Canada........-8 C with the windchill. That's bloody hot in Aussieland.

Global warming is a misnomer, but there's no doubting that odd things are afoot on the climate front. There's a heatwave in Perth and they're skiing in December at Thredbo. Meanwhile the East Coast is literally on fire. I think that all of the issues can be traced back to over population that basically rapes the environment in many different ways. The more people you cram into a fixed space, the worse the conditions are for everyone in that space. Common sense.

My daughter lives in Cowaramup just outside Margaret River and she says it's SCORCHIO. Far to hot to work outside, so as a teacher, they are keeping all the kids inside where they have air conditioning going full blast. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Looks to be getting warmer to me Jules

Hotter weather was one of the reasons we put insulation in our roof.

Retro fitting under the roof tiles was a challenging job but we'll worth the effort. I have that down to a fine art finally, if anyone wants information for templates.
