Hot Days

Jump to new
And so this miserable weather continues to encompass us. Hit 45 deg at 2pm.
Started early 4.30 to beat the vehicle movement ban which came in at 7am.
Stud bull is not enjoying these excessive days over 40. He has a lot of carcass to lug around. but knows where the coolest spots are.
 
A lot cooler here in the deep south (Mandurah) just a balmy 40 degrees
 
The temp has been on about 38 now for a couple of hours. The pool has some shadows over it, so the time has come for a splash and wallow.
 
It has been a warm one.


  • In short: Western Australia just sweltered through its hottest summer on record.
  • It saw dozens of records broken, severe to extreme heatwaves, countless bushfires, and an ex-tropical cyclone that failed to redevelop.
  • What's next? It is hoped autumn will bring some relief, but forecasters warn it will also be hotter than normal.
The hottest day was February 18 when Carnarvon Airport soared to 49.9C, believed to be the world's hottest temperature so far this year and Australia's highest recorded temperature for the summer.

After WA's hottest ever summer, forecasters warn it could be 'scary' vision of the future

Western Australia just sweltered through its hottest summer on record, and there are concerns autumn will see some records fall as well.

Adelaide's doing quite nicely at the moment.

39.9 in the CBD today, some suburbs into the low 40's, and forecast is down to 28 overnight and back up to 39 tomorrow.

Then 28 - 38 for Monday.

Nice and warm.

Was a very pleasant and socially acceptable 27.5 deg here today, and down to 10deg overnight. Hooray.
 
Would have thought that summer has returned today. Hit a top so far of 36 deg. The sun has the summer bite to it.
 
Well as of 12 Noon WST today, the mercury is climbing steadily and has hit 39deg C.
That's it for me today.
With a forecast of perhaps some showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening home will be the best place to be.
Tomorrow promises to be even better with a 40degC forecast.
 
40° down the bottom of the hill, I stink of sweat, burnt keratin and our old friend fusobacterium necrophorum. I am likewise heading home to slam down about 17 very cold beers.

Bummer. Some decent summer downfalls would be most welcome, so long as you've got all your hay in already.

No idea of the temperature down here at the bottom of the hill, at the rapids with a couple of mates getting "comfortably numb" and bitching about the weather and dressage queens
 
Looks to be a pretty uncomfortable night tonight with the temp at around 30 deg.

Another stinker today. just hit 38 deg. That's more than enough for me to call it quits and head inside

I became a conscientious objector at about 8.30 this morning. Call me a slacker, weakling, pussy, whatever. Hard yakka in front of a forge with heavy leather PPE just has knobs on it... especially having to listen to a dressage queen bitching about the heat while I sweat like a farking navvie under their spoilt, ill-disciplined, 650kg dumbblood in 40° heat.

Even going shopping with the missus at Madland is more appealing.
 
I finished at 9am plenty hot enough, even though there is limited shade, but the ground is being prepared for bitumen so radiating heat is something else.
