Mate hearing you hear fellas. Getting close to 44 where I am, and been having mini black outs of the office. A one stage I thought the little 2hp a/c packed itself in, because it was blowing hot air, but it went into safety mode when the black out hit. Its all good now.
Bit hot and sweaty around the jatz crackers at the moment though.

It's a nice 22-23 in my office atm....but I am just waiting for the AC to cry enough and pack it in. A bit over 41 outside (in Melb CBD) and the bloody goods lift has packed it in because the bloody motor room is on the roof so all the electrics have cooked.
Still it's going to be worse tomorrow, nothing compared to Adelaide's max of 45.5 though :

43C here in Barham. Looking forward to some kneeboarding after work tomorrow night. I love living close to some great lakes at full capacity with mates that own speedboats who are willing to drive out there so I can enjoy a beer. It's a tough life. :

Yep stinking hot, going to head down to the beach tonight.
Couldn't imaging it could suck anymore to live in Adelaide, but with that weather I guess it can.

Work's just about stuffed for this week, too bloody hot to put up with it after lunch or so. I was in QLD all xmas and I would rather the humidity. You sweat and drink more it at least it doesnt dry you out like it does down south. Especially with the wind as well
Although there was a 42C day in Rockhampton on new years eve and the house was that hot that the kitchen sink was boiling to touch and the cold water....well it never went cold! 42C and humidity feels like there's no air left! |

Got up to 62c in the sun and then the LCD started going black lol so we decided to bring it back into the shade.
