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

[ICB]

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.!

And your complaining ? jesus christ when its summer over here. We don't even get that plus we don't even get much sun, i wish i would have that now to get a nice tan and ETC.

Instead of grey skies/rain its depressing as hell, damn some people just don't know how good they've got it. You should switch places with me and still see if you complain about your weather then.

This goes both ways though man, Where I live it's very similar to where he lives weatherwise. It gets hotter and hotter and there is no escape, it makes you tired and aggrevated and all that sun, guess what, it burns you. I like where I live, but there are times where it's just draining. The metro area I live in has the highest recorded temperate in the US (for a major city) at 122 degrees f (50 degrees c). With the UV index being what it is and the temperature being what it is, it takes about 5 minutes to get a nice deep sunburn.

Here are the AVERAGE highs for July where I live

Since this heat wave started 18 people have died in Adelaide alone!

Yes eighteen!

Sorry but we're not talking any ordinary heat here especially for those with less than perfect heath already and airconditioners which break down or people in places where they have power blackouts!

Adelaide is not really that big and this is a first world country with hospitals and abulances etc etc.

This heat is not bad just because it's hot but because there is no let up even at night and it's so prolongued.

Make that 22 now!

Sounds pretty serious Sharla.

I have no idea the totals here. I just know people are dying. As I wrote earlier in another thread, my friends uncle froze to death trying to get home 3 blocks from the bar. They found him face down one block into the trip...on the court house front yard frozen stiff. Killface made a thread sorta about the cold (the homeless too) titled "Hey, Nice Shoes". I think a lot of the deaths here are often people having heart attacks cleaning snow, or car accidents and that sort of thing. I know my dad says if he goes...it'll be the snow cleaning the gets him. I just assumed he was guilting me into doing it until I started reading up on it and then saw him huffing and puffing. So it basically worked and I now do it.

Hopefully it breaks for you guys soon. I think we might be through the worst of it for now. The frigid cold anyway.

I agree its fucking freezing here in Liverpool right now, pissing down with rain as well. Winter mights are just depressing IMO. I would LOVE to be in a hot place right now. UK weather is shit...just another depressing thing about this country

Yeah there are some places which i dno't really understand being inhabited by humans unless they are migrating people only there in favourable seasons and places that cold go into that category for me. Did people ever live there in winter as hunter gatherers tribal type people?

I think only small fires at the moment but i really pitty the fireys! A bush fire in the weather would be evil to fight and i don't know how the fireys cope with the heat at all!

They take the weather temps in the shade so while i think around 47 o C has been the top here in Adelaide any thermometers on buildings etc will often read higher than that!
