Only 34 or 35 here in QLD. Was 43 on Monday.
I poured hot coffee on myself, just to cool down! Must be simply boiling in the antarctic, according to the trend of getting hotter in Australia the further south you go.

Damm hot
Hi Guys
45 degrees and a strong hot north wind today, I knew when I went outside this morning I knew we were in for a stinker and sure enough fire bombing planes been going over the house for most of the afternoon fighting a bushfire west of us. I feel for those Victorians who will get our hot weather tomorrow and I sure hope all the fire bugs stay home due to the heat, but that is wishful thingking. Cheers Tony

We are also experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures: It's -12°C out right now, with a forecast high of -5°C today.
Normals for this time of year are -22 for the low, and -12 for the high, so I guess I can't complain.

It's Warm in Hammond!
The temp got up to -1oC just before noon at Hammond. But it was plenty hot, but not in the barn. Outside one could work up a sweat in no time - particularly when it involves snow removal from CMP/SMP hoods. This is a necessary task as the CMP hoods in particular tend to bend with the snow load. The SMP trucks were not too bad off, but they too were feeling the effects of the two foot deep snow on top. Only 10 more trucks to go!
Photos: 1 - There are trucks in there. 2 - The problem. 3 - An unique angle - looking down into the cab of the truck.

We are expecting a high of 40 today at Yass. someone in the family thought it would be good to have a party in early rather than later on in January to beat the heat, now with the hottest day for many years we'll have to see.

I have worked in both the extreme cold ( Alert, and Repulse Bay tundra just accross the arctic circle) and the extreme heat (Cypress, Kandahar Airfield). It is almost hard to say which is better. I guess it comes down to the threat on the physical well being. At moderate negative temperatures you can simply dress warmer. At the 40+ above mark you can ensure adequate hydration.
End of the day, I guess I would take the heat over the cold. But quite frankly, I would prefer a climate where it just stayed at 21°C every day, and maybe 18 at night. Also, if it oculd rain only at night, that would be fine also. Made it up to -3 outside right now. I am out in just a hoodie with no gloves and running shoes on. A nice break form the recent cold spell.
