23.37 ....day 1 of the heat ....still not King.  [LOTR joke]

Darn intercoolers on Turbos....normally shut down in less than 3 minutes....today....more like 8.  [I have one of those battery packs for jump-starting...cos the other day the battery was dead].

Tennis brats are hissy-fitting all over the place....it's hit and miss whether a match ends or defaults cos someone broke into a sweat.

Tomorrow [Wednesday] is supposed to be the hottest.....Wed night will have a low of 26....

Well, it's 8.30 am here, and it's not as humid as it was here yesterday this time, and it's meant to hit 40 today.. I surely hope not

That's it.. I'm moving into my fridge.

While y'all are sweating your off, on the other side of the globe we are up to ours in snow and freezing rain.

Yeah, we're not screwing up the climate at all.

Day 3 ....still not King...

It's nice being told one more day of it and it's a record hottest stretch of temp ever in Melbourne....

Got to 44.3 ...that's 111.7.

I'm not doing any work...the office end of my house has no A/C ....and drawing trace is heat sensitive [as is all paper] so if it's dimensionally unstable I draw 10 squares now it'll be 8 when temps get more 'nomal' [almost, not really].

Am monitoring comp heats...47cpu 44case ....not too bad [side of case is off].

Thursday night will likely be the hottest ever....haven't heard yet...but sure felt like it.

Heh, just go with that, Jafo.  It sounds believable enough. 

While I enjoy the heat, I feel for all the Melbournians.  You guys just aren't used to extreme temps.

It's little better here though, but then again I'm in an air-conditioned office building wearing a light jacket because I'm a little chilly. 

in Winter.....yes.... ...Melbourne has great summers...when they kick in.....can sometimes be chilly up until Christmas...but Jan/Feb....lovely hot northerly winds.....      though not good for bushfires....

nah....Melboure & Adelaide have always had some Summers with really high temps....my Mum was brought up in Adelaide...and tells of the high temps growing up....and the stinking heat... and she's 92....  while I'm sure we humans are having some effect....it's hard to tell what is a natural evolution of conditions....and what is created....all we can do is try and clean up our act, and the faster the better....and leave the rest to mother nature...climate change...is natural as well....

Catch the weather report from Hawaii: LINK

I agree. The further north I lived, the less hot and stuffy the Summers were (at least in the years I lived there).

Townsvillle was way less hot than Lismore. Lismore got these really horrible Northerlys which turned the (not-insulated) iron-roof of my little house into a perfect pizza-oven. Townsville got much more rain during the same time and everything had the chance to cool down again.

Jafo; the Australian heatwave was in the news here yesterday!

Day 4....broke all records....45.1 ....but just got a blackout...so gonna be melting and offline for a while

Back online....power demands exceeded supply....lost it for about 2 hours.

45.1 today is 113.2 F so we survived the new entry into the record books.

Tomorrow [Saturday] it's 'only' 35 or so ....so I'll go cycling....do my 50k or so....

Mad bastards, we Aussies....

But Fuzzy....I hear you guys topple off your perches if it gets over 85...

That was our minimum last night.....
