Its probably only mid 30's at your place.

[mudnut]

I just retrieved the thermometer from the Old Trol under the carport. It showed over 50 Degrees. It has dropped to 37 degrees in the house.

[Gecko17]

Pannawonica in WA hit 50+ on Saturday. Thankfully, it's a much cooler 45 here today.

[mudnut]

I must be sick in the head, cause I love hot weather. Moving down this way, I don't usually get days and days of warm weather. :(

[lhurley]

At least its not humid. At my place right now its only 28 deg, but its 60%+ humidity.

[threedogs]

@ Mego that's great its cooled down to 43.7 can really feel the cool change lol
I'm with AB should be Undies all week long, no yellow y fronts allowed

[growler2058]

Adelaide hit 45.1 just before 2pm glad I'm doing the servo evening shift. It 22 in the house at the moment

Definitely! My utmost respect goes to those blokes.
What I find interesting is judging by posts on a few facebook pages, there are people out 4x4-ing today. Few snaps from Tullarook and King lake. I mean... What goes through your head, out of any day you picked TODAY to go and have some fun. Really? If I as much as even unlocked the doors of my trol today, it would melt into a puddle of aluminum.

I know the area well as I use to live not far from Wagga... you should have told us we could have met for a nice hot cup of coffee!!!!

When I lived up there we got a 2 week run of 45 degrees and the house I lived in had no insulation and no air conditioning...it was hell.

At the time I was hay carting and also working for conservation and land ... no way could I handle that now.

The worst thing is that you dont sweat much in the dry heat and sometimes dont realize how dehydrated you are, I still went though a sh1t ton of water and gatorade, one of the apprentices had a spew then went for a lay down in the arvo, a bit of heat stroke.

[threedogs]

Years ago when living and working in Alice we had salt tablets . but they don't seem to use them these days,
Used to wind up the young guys to tell us the first time your wee turns green so we can rush you to hospital.
Yeah was a good laugh

I was at a clients house yesterday doing an inspection (did a 13 hour day yesterday in long sleeves and long pants damn it!). They were all inside with the air on on and their poor bloody dog was sited at the back door! They said to each other "yeah we will let him in tonight" I'm thinking????? What????? Bloody know where my dog is mate, in the dog door and in the shade inside somewhere for sure!

Bit cooler tonight with the temp below 30 an hour ago when I checked... watching the light show off in the distance, hope it does not spark fires.

[AB]

Lightening cracking over here. Fires will be starting tonight indeed.

That fire yesterday in kangaroo ground was from some moron lighting his bom fire.

Yeah 31 here.... today is going to be awful !!

My kids and I are going to kill each other as we have been stuck together for 3 days now.

I hate crowds so going to a place for entertainment or cooling down is out of the question as I will lose it!!!!!!

So far I have bought kick ass water pistols, nerf guns (Margherita hates them) and a small blow up pool as I only pulled the large pool down a week ago... doh!!!

Watched many movies and now out of ideas???

[threedogs]

just make sure they drink heaps of water, very important for everyone to stay hydrated and not beer.
9.00 up date in Melb says its 37 and cloudy

[mudski]

Yep mate home brew only way to go
Roughly 40 pints for around $15 once your set up
Yeah just finished my six slabs of home brew...Need to make anuva lot very soon.
To all you girly boys to cry about the heat. Take a spoonful of concrete. I'm working in it all this week. Just means I have to drink more beer at the end of the day. Thats not a bad thing...
I'm with mudnut on this. I like it...

[threedogs]

44 at 3 o'clock , feels a bit cooler now.
Go to hear from you George

[Stropp]

BA did you get the plastic sheet for the kids or not, good way to keep em cool and quiet.

[Hodge]

Well it's been a fun week for me. Wife back at work, so here I am being stay at home daddy 4th day in a row, in this heat. Can't go anywhere, just locked inside hoping the evap system holds up. So far so good though.
Mixed emotions, as on the upside I got to spend a full week with our 10 month old sun. On the negative side, this weather absolutely kills me, as I grew up in snow a meter deep, so I'm not built for this sort of s*** 5 days in a row. But oh well...
OH and by the way, our temp gauge in the backyard, in the shade clocked over 46 about 2 hours ago.

[threedogs]

as of 5 oclock it is now 39,
boy those extra 5 degrees make a big difference

You poor sucker! But i know that feeling. Especially when i was on the back of a ship in the middle east in summer working over a hot helicopter engine. Id put my foot over the edge while working ontop of the helicopter(these are huge helicopters btw) and the sweat would run down my body down my leg and it would look like i was peeing.

[mudnut]

Working on a 3300 hp diesel engine loco in an enclosed engine room, the temps get way above 60 degrees. My hat goes off to the blokes that are servicing them in this heat.

[Bloodyaussie]

The storm has hit here in a huge and scary way... its knocked out out central air conditioning and I dare not go on the roof to fix with all this lighting. ..

Picked up a $700 portable air conditioner from the side of the road in toorak and it kicks ass... lucky I bothered to do so or it would be a very sticky night

Just copped it good and proper here in Thomastown. Wind, lightning, sideways rain, you name it we've had it... Power flickered few times too, which was the worst bit. If that went, I don't know how we'd cool down the little one tonight.

That'll keep him cool and asleep! Two in one! Speaking of which, I'm on my last 6 pack. That's how lazy I've been during this hell week. Didn't even get out to the bottle 'o.

[Bloodyaussie]

Well I did not give up and after the worst of the storm I managed to get my air conditioning working... up and down off the roof about 4 times but so far so good..

The house heated up so quickly after keeping it cool for 4 days now... its very slowly coming down.

That storm was awesome... Mudski messaged me to say how much he loved it and I would have to if not for the cooling situation.

Crazy!!!!!!!!!

[Hodge]

Mate if all else fails, I have one of those portable refrigerated aircon units sitting in the garage. Only thing missing is the exhaust tube thing that stick out the window. If times get desperate let me know.

Yeah as I said in my earlier post I picked one up off the side of the road in Toorak on Monday (not scabbing) as part of my duties to keep my contract clean and after xmas pricks dumped so much shit... when I got home it was so hot I thought I would test it and it kicks ass.. about $600-$700 when new... got it going to cool the bedrooms at the least but if all the shit hits the fan (pardon the pun) I will contact you.
Cheers Hodgey!!!

Hottest it’s ever been here on top of our mountain in the 18 years we’ve been here. Almost enough to make us want air conditioning, but the fan & water bottle spray have sufficed.
The Storm that BA & Mudski experienced mst’ve headed out to sea, all we’ve had is a pleasant gentle breeze.

Being hot and sweaty isn't that bad, even working inside a workshop thats 40 degrees, the worst part is the motors don't cool down and after a couple of weeks break its hard to get your asbestos hands back lol

Feel for the CFS volunteers, they have been battling fires all week and it would be getting a lot worse tonight.
They have support going to the riverland from NSW and to Ceduna from WA to help out.

Absolutely smashing down here rain thunder sites shutting and im getting the fork out of dodge WOO HOO

[BigRAWesty]

You can get an app which holds the shutter open but then you can select a still from the frames. Tops for lightening.
I'll try find it.

[BigRAWesty]

Just found a better app..
Lightening app. It's continuously takes shots so while the lightening goes you them hit capture and it brings up the previous few seconds worth of shots and you pic the best few..
Awesome idea..
