Four 114+ degree days in a row.. F that!

[Dizaster]

That's what we Aussies have in store for us this week from Tuesday to Saturday.. The worst part of my house is that my bedroom is pointed towards the sun for 90% of the day and never cools down.. it's literally about 20 degrees hotter than the rest of the house, but it's going to be so freakin hot this week I just can't stand it.!

Go nail an old thick blanket on outside your window mate works well you'd be suprized.
wet the fukker down just before sleep and open up the window = bushmans cooler.

I've got 2 of those silver things that you put in the car windows so i'm thinking of sticking them up over the windows, although I live in an area where young tackers will come along and steal them if they are outside.. But i'll definitely look at putting something over the windows this week..

They were talking about it on the radio that it'll be our hottest week since 1959 where we had 3 40+ days in a row..

What's the bet that we'll see a bunch of coincidental bush fires start all over the state tomorrow..

I'm guessing it'll be a hard week for you out in it every day.. Buy up a couple of 2 litre bottles of water to take each day

We've been locked in the icy grip of a frigid arctic air mass for more then a month...wth temps on average -20 and worse. Gladly switch with you.

[Gandalf]

Been snowing all day here! I wouldnt want to trade weather with Diz though....hot weather sucks!!

[Youngblood]

There is a difference between snowing, and temps consistantly heading into the -40 and worse with windchill factor.

I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Probably if we switched instantly we both die maybe, Im sitting here with a just a sarong and dripping sweat,we are on the beach here its 41 Diz will be swealtering in the city heat always hotter and more fumes up there .
Surfed this morning though great day to take off, im off into the airconditioned tv room fuk this is too hot out here in the computer room.
Got work tomorrow and the next , idiotic thing is we instal marble fire surrounds!

You are like a cup of tea, on hot day.

Yeah it was darn hot today... When I got home from and turned the car off and got out, I could hear the radiator boiling like a kettle.. There's been a couple of blackouts on this side of town, so if the air-conditioner goes out, i'm running the bath full of cold water and sleeping in there..
It would have been great in the surf this morning before it gets ridiculously hot....

I was also hearing on the radio that this weather makes domestic violence rise by about 600%, so I'm keeping clear of the missus if she starts up her whinging. I doubt jail cells have air conditioning....

Actually on the other hand, they probably do. Probably better ones than my house.... hmmmm



and all I have to say for VD's message of empathy is that the flames of hell are probably a lot hotter than the Aussie Summer... Maybe you should fly down here and start getting used to it...

in advance..

Ha! Good one

The heat warped the train tracks in Adelaide today and a heap of people who use the trains to commute got trapped in the city!

Sooooo glad I'm in an airconditioned building most of the time and not commuting a long way to work!

Having said that i did forget how hot it is and tried to go for a run this morning - was dehydrated within 20 mins of easy jogging and had to find a tap at 6:30 am! Ridiculous!

Yea I was thinking this after making my post. The extremes are so severe..I suspect is it easy to see the others and think it may in some way be better in our current state of discomfort. We'd likely change our minds quickly once in it...

Train tracks warping is messed up.

The fact you guys can go outside and find some water and enjoy it I think trumps your situation as being more enjoyable. Here when it starts to hit -30 and worse, being outside for anything more then 5-10 mins you are risking frostbite, and by that, I mean severe frostbite and losing ears, noses, fingers etc. I currently have a winter tan. I seriously have a tan, from my outer layer of facial skin being frostburnt from exposer to the air.

It's only -20 right now...so am considering going for a run outside. Something I haven't been able to do in weeks.

As is usual here in Torquay I have barely noticed the weather at all. I think we have the ideal weather in that regard.

You don't notice the weather cuz you don't go out.
