i didnt want to hear that damien. a couple of days after you get the heat it comes over to nz. what do you do to cool off. usually if its 35 outside its 40 inside where i work. not nice at all. at least on the weekend i can hide inside with the air con cranked up. roll on winter.....

Hope it mellows as it crosses the Tasman, we didn't cool off had to tough it out room aircon spat the dummy when room temp hit 32C had a 1/2 hour break started and ran for 5 mins then quit, was this cycle midday until 9pm been running constant nearly 2hrs and room temp is just over 30C, low overnight expected to be 29C another sleepless night, as you say roll on winter.
I haven't seen a frost for 4 or 5 years, climate is definately warming up.

Just hold off on the winter :-) - I will be in Oz in 10 days time and NZ at the beginning of March. If you want cold, get over here! They originally forecast a mild February, now they are saying that the cold weather could last through the month {:-{

I envy you guys down under. Here in Southern Ontario there's 3 feet of snow on the ground and more coming. Todays balmy high is minus 7 degrees C.
-
We have record temperatures here too.
It is about 12-13 degrees C here. Two weeks ago was minus 8.
We should have had snow before now.
There has been no precipitation for months now. The dirt is turning to dust.
The farmers are really worried.
The largest part of China's economy is still agricultural. There are 40 million peasants (income less than $250 per year) who rely on farming.

Cold and blowy here in Peterborough.... but me chips are hot! :-)
-
I can do chips, I brought a deep fat fryer back with me.
Spuds here are desiree, so great for chips.
Just can't get any decent fish is all.
-
Damien.... telling us frozen Europeans something about temperatures above the 10 degrees Celsius and blues skys is a shame. I would claim Martin to handle that as the WORDS-NOT-ALLOWED..... {-) {-) {-) *shiver* (as we have minus3 degrees now and a *§%&ß* North-Eastern blowing....
-
Up here, on the beautiful north east coast of NSW, it's hardly gone above 30 Celsius, with lovely cooling sea breezes 8) O0 {-)
Oh dear, it's raining now <:( , never mind, it'll be sunny again tomorrow :-)) (Sorry Neil :D )
Peter.
PS: The hot conditions in the southern part of Australia appear to be caused by a high pressure system, funnelling hot winds down from the interior of the continent. Fortunately, we are not affected here - yet.

That hot weather is not good in the south of Aus. It would appear that people are now dieing...

UPDATE
This afternoon it has started raining. Only light rain, but there will be many happier farmers in Central China tonight..
-
we are supposed to be getting your leftovers sunday/monday damien. only 35/40C here though. get out the winter woolies i think ;)
-
I'll tell you all something for free....being in a cold climate is a darn sight more comfortable than trying to live and work in a temp. of over 30*C. Of course there are extremes, but hot is more debilitating than cold. Apropos of nothing really, but does anyone remember the old song about a heat wave......"It ain't no sin to take off your skin, and dance around in your bones"....I'd prefer to put on a heavier sweater.

Bryan that would be taking nudity just a tad too far lol :-)
Damien.
-
Couldn't agree more Bryan, hot weather is great for 2 weeks every year but when my holiday is over I'm very glad to get back to normality
-
Hope me lottery numbers are correct for tonight - then I'll be off to find somewhere "not too hot, not too cold" - as long as there's a lake for me boats 8) :D
-
how was the heat today damien. didnt get as hot here as it was forecast but its 9.25 here now and i bet its still as hot as it was mid afternoon.
-
Went to the boat lake in shorts & polo shirt , and was cold and light rain showers all day, weather i don't mind top of 23c, big difference.

Its a bit of a mess in Victoria and New south Wales,the fires
have burnt out 700 houses and killed 84, with that number
expected to rise yet....
Roy
-
My sympathies go out to all, i have relatives ,a brother in the voluteer firefighters,and i wonder what we have to moan about ,,We should be helping Aussie .
-
Dave,
I couldn't agree with you more. I have relatives in Oz, it must be difficult for them, especially the elderly.
We all know, it is far easier to heat a building than to cool it.
Tony.

Well done Dave lets send all the so called MP's out there to earn there money that they are getting for nothing wallace

Except for the number of dead I thought that you were talking about Southern California. When I lived in San Diego we regularly had temperatures in the 100 to 110 range when the Santa Anna winds blew, Hot dry wind from the desert. Then the >>:-( fires would start and not much of any thing could stop them till the wind changed.
Good Luck and I hope no ones house is in the fires path, my sister was only about 1/4 mile from the burn line in Escondido last fall.
