EUGH.

Can I share something? In Melbourne today, it reached 46°. 46.5 in the suburbs where Steph and I are holed up (thankfully somewhere with airconditioning; ie, not our house). That's 115.7°F. It's now officially the hottest day on record. This is also the third week in a row with temperatures over 40°C (104°F). Last week we had four days in a row over 40. Also we're in a record-breaking drought.

And they say global warming is a fallacy.

P.S., can we has a Dunedin pls? I long for summer temperatures of under 30.

I will happily swap you for "being able to see my breath INSIDE my house".

*HUGS* I was thinking about you guys when it was -10 Celsius here the other day. I much prefer the cold to the heat, I have to say. Take care, you!

Global warming isn't just about increased temperatures, it's also about increased extremes of weather, like the floods in Queensland. There will be more floods, more storms, more cyclones, more drought and more heat and cold than we have ever known because those in charge have an interest in not seeing the environment for what it is.

*hugs* hope you and steph coped alright with the heat.
It was 40 in Canberra yesterday and I felt bad for whinging when seeing what Melb and Adelaide have experienced. This summer has been extroadinary. Jesse said it was 47+ out west (point cook) at his work, so he ended up leaving about lunchtime.

I watched all the news coverage this morning about the bushfires and it's really, really scary. I can't believe places as close as Narre Warren were affected.

Done.

I lived through that in a house I was housesitting for in 2005. I'd rather just put another layer on.

We could have a tropical holiday there. :/
