They're predicting it'll be 'hotter here than Corfu' on new years eve,with temperatures reaching 59F here. Nice,but how 59 Fahrenheit be hot?

It's minus 32, divide by 9, and times by 5 for a figure in Centigrade.

Another searingly hot day today. It was already 30 when I got up at 0800, and now, 2 hours later, it's about 35. Forecast maximum is 43. (except yesterday's forecast was 38 and it reached 40, so who knows what today will bring?).

The good news is that the forecast maximum for tomorrow is 23!
This is because Melbourne is located at the northern edge of a large, half-circle shaped bay (check it on a map), and so all it takes to make the temperature plummet fast and far is for the wind to become a southerly, which always happens after several days at the most. So Melbourne's heatwaves fortunately never last more than a week at most, normally less.

So I just have to survive today's heat...

It's now just after 1530, and it's 31 degrees in the house and 42 outside, with no sign of a cool change yet. The forecast was for about 31.5 at 2000, with the temperature dropping 10 degrees over the next hour. I'm looking forward to it.

The cool change isn't too far off: it's down to about 38, and a long band of rain is headed my way, but probably won't be over me for another 1-2 hours.

I just learned about a type of cloud of which I was previously unaware: pyro-cumulonimbus.

Morning.
It looks grey but dry out at the moment .
My back is feeling okay at the moment but was a right pain last night . I'm trying to think why it flared up again . I stayed off my bike but I did a bit of tiling. So whether the crouching down and getting up might have had an effect. I seem to have a bit of a bug and a violent sneeze may have upset things .
I'm going to take things easy today .

It's raining, and the temperature is 28 degrees and still dropping... No more heatwave (for now, anyway).
Actually, I just checked, and the temperature dropped 8 degrees in 8 minutes! Now that's what I call a cool change.
