[stoo23]

Well, they warned us it could be unseasonably Hot this year,.. and whilst it has been warm,.. today was diabolical,... I'm not sure what it was earlier but it HAS cooled down and it's now ONLY 31°C

We're all going to die   

[jj2007]

it's now ONLY 31°C

We have half as much

Nice list

That's only about 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Here in Louisiana, we frequently get well above that. And extremely humid when it is that hot.
That being said, I don't know what the normal temperature is for Australia for this time of year.

Today we will be around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26-27 deg. C), so a little chilly here. 

Sometimes I miss Chicago, but not in winter, I prefer warmth over cold. They will be around 0 C. (32 F) today. Not bad, really. I don't miss the mountains of snow they get there, or the freezing windy days.

We just had 42C and 41C, hot for December - it usually gets hotter in late January.
Of more concern is the fact that we've had less then half our annual rainfall for the year

Now that's hot. And with the lack of rain, could be disastrous.
We get that hot here often, but usually mixed in with hurricanes and too much rain/flooding. Arizona (U.S. state) gets extremely hot, and always very dry there as well.

From what I understand about 'global warming' trends, hot places will get much hotter, cold places much colder, wet places will get wetter, and dry places will get much drier. If that all makes sense. Of course I could have misunderstood some of it as well.  I'll stop here, since this isn't in the Coloseum - oops.

Eeeek ... see that alone is a great reason to Not live in South Australia !!,..    Apart from the lousy water   

It usually gets hotter in late January.

Yeah,.. I'm Not looking forward to it,....

It's actually been quite Wet up here on the NSW Central Coast, ... In fact, after beeing up at about 35 or 36 yesterday,.. it became Cold, Windy and Wet last night and today has been wet and only 20°

Fuck you 

Apart from the lousy water   

The only water that's made me sick was my time in Victoria. And no, it wasn't VB

Every year we get at least a week of 40C plus. Funny thing is, because there's no humidity, you get used to it 
Then 28C hits and you're cold

Then 28C hits and you're cold

Yeah,.. exactly, ... like today,.. I'm actually cold and have put on a fleece track suit pullover 

The Dry heat is far better than the typical Far North Queensland's daily Heat & Humidity, like in Cairns,... 

I used to hate Touring with bands around Xmas, as you would invariably always head North and had to work through truly exasperating weather !!
No way I could live up there, especially Not with my health these days !!

BTW, I was not suggesting you would get Sick from SA's water   
Way back, it used to be quite Hard and a bit Cloudy compared to our water at home and didn't taste that great. Things are Much better these days

C3S said data from January to November had confirmed 2024 is now certain to be the hottest year on record

Yeah, 1972 was a rough year

You could combine throw yourself in snow with sit in sauna in Northern winter
But I prefer the fire/ice hot coffee with cold icecream
1972 was year intel 8008 first 8 bit cpu was released
