How's The Weather By You?

The interesting thing about this heatwave is that the Southern Oscillation Index is in neutral, i.e. neither El Nino nor la Nina.
The next el Nino phase might deliver even more extremes and less rain.

Thank you Tim Flannery.

What's it like in Sydney Warri? Steamy? Has the heat wave reached it? I keep losing attention when the weather report comes on.
Been pretty well perfect here, for me anyway.
 

Out here 38C max but in Sydney and on the coast only 28C because of a nice NE breeze.
The heat is all south of here. Weird.

PS I went to the pub for lunch with the old girls for a birthday lunch.
Some are DND and others can hardly walk but everyone was keen for an outing.

I believe Queensland is in for its own heat wave soon.
I hope it doesn't come via NSW.

We've already had it Warrigal.

One day with temps briefly above the short term records. One odd thing I noticed is that the alleged Redcliffe "record" on 4th Jan - originally posted as 40.3C - was shown few days ago as 39.xC a and has now disappeared from the data: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/IDCJDW4099.latest.shtml

Unreliable, shoddy climate records from the BOM, remember.
 
44.1c at the moment and going for 45c.....
I'm hanging out for the cool change that's supposed to get her late this arvo.....
The fires in the Grampians are very bad at the moment so the cool change
won't help the firefighters at all...they're evacuating all around that area now.....
Horrible....:eek:mg:

Have you got yourself set up in a cool bath with your PC beside you Casper, that would be the only way of keeping cool, i feel for you.

Jilly, unfortunately no bath in our place but I'll take advantage
of the one in your pic though, lol....:playful:
Just got the AC running on low but enough to keep us comfortable....
Actually the temp has now dropped to 35c and hopefully will keep
dropping to around 25c.....:yeah:

Wet lino Cas, lie on it stark bollocky, place wet cotton bedsheet over you, and have a jug of water within reach to keep it that way.
Not a good look but it works when the air-con karks. I'm told.

Di, thanks but fortunately, the AC is still working......
but I'll keep your advice in mind for when that times comes.....Not.
I take it you haven't tested this personally.....
You're sooo right, not a good look at all.:badgirl:
 
Ummm, not personally no. It was something they did in tin roofed houses in the bush in pre air-con days with not enough water in the tank to waste on a bath and while hubby was at work and the kids at school. They were resourceful old girls back then.
 
Windy and 60 F degrees today, temps will drop and the snows will come tomorrow starting late afternoon.
