You northern blokes cold, were having a hot humid spell. Not even fun bike riding with gear on. Today, car sitting outside all day, inside temp 67c/152f. Couldnt hardly hold steering wheel.At least tonight cooler, 21c/70f. Beautiful with ceiling fan on. A/C not needed.

Those are insane temps! High 20s is enough to make me feel ill with the heat.

February is normally our warmest month plus with El Nino loads of humidity. It was 24 deg at 5am this morning. Max 34C around 1pm  :furious:

I couldn't sleep in that. The reason I only spent one day in Croatia on my 14 years ago was that it was 22c at night. I didn't sleep at all & knew it'd get hotter going south so I rode north again.

36 here yesterday and 20% humidity, too hot to walk on the driveway barefoot.  Was changing the thermostat in my daughters car in the driveway, sweating like a horse.  Drank about 10l of water then a couple of beers. Last week was bearable, 30s or so and 15 at night.
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

At least Perth humidity levels are low, I don't mind dry heat it's the humidity that's the killer.

Seth, we couldn't spell the Aboriginal names so borrowed yours.

Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane are all second hand names from over there.

Likely to be 35 here today with usual high-ish humidity.

Yes the aircon is one and my electricity bill hates me.

I had to laugh when the power grid guy said people are "over-consuming".   :frustrated:
