todays temperature ???

[cletrac (RIP)]

39 degrees is nothing. With wind chill that's what we are. Oh, wait, were you talking plus or minus? I'm going outside now with a couple of aerosol cans to hasten that global warming they keep talking about!

The one where the beer needs to be cooled and not thawed out to drink

44 degrees C today in Geelong. Not going to get below the low 30s tonight.
Got another two days of this in front of us.

I am glad I now live in Sydney. When living near Geelong, 20 years ago the weather in summer was not as hot as it has been over the past couple of years. I hope the temperature when we are at Corowa is a little cooler than last year.

Ahhh, only 45.3 degrees today. Building engines in that heat isn't fun. Beats any gym workout I reckon.
At least the power is back on at home tonight. Was out for over 12 hours last night.

Bring on winter.

In comparison only a mild 41c here today
Dosen't look like too much relief any time soon either

It seems the closer to the sun the cooler it gets, it only got to 34dec here today.

All of SE Aus is sweltering at the moment...
This is the max temperature history for the last few weeks-
35.4, 36.4, 39.2, 41.4, 27.6, 29.8, 29.8, 31, 36.7, 39.0, 42.6, 33.6, 27.6, 29.8, 32.7, 37.3, 38.6, 38.8, 35.3, 36.6, 30.4, 34.4, 38.6, 39.3, 40.7
And the forecast for the next few days-
41, 42, 42, 42, 38, 39, 39
10 days plus over 100'F
I know these aren't the hottest in the world, but too bloody hot for me.
No relief or rain in sight either.
PS I hate winter, too!

I'm just glad I gave up sheering even when I was in my 20's these temps used to get to me I agree Howard we desperatly need rain all the small creeks here are dry and the main ones are at record lows so that dosn't look good for the river

Summer's quite nice up here above 980m (I have to sit on the roof to get into the "Kilometre High Club" ). Hottest day so far has been 35 deg, with low humidity throughout. I think over Matilda IIA's way they even had snow this Summer!
