Heat

I must admit I don't remember such a long run of hot weather for a while...it is such a contrast from last January/February where temps where average but rain was a plenty.

i can only comiserate try and stay as cool as possible

I moved to Darwin from Hazelbrook ( blue Mts ) 35 years ago, you never get used to the heat, you just learn to live with it.

Cheers Steve.

Nah! We have regular two weeks of HOT weather every year where I am in the SAouthern Flinders Ranges. Its just that the media has got hold of it this year and made a fuss of it.

2008 around 14 days of 40
2007 around 14 days of 42+
2006 it didn't get over 35 all summer
2005 31 tops for summer

In February 2001 I measured 48.6 on the back verandah in the shade

Today 43

Hide in the house in the aircon....lol


Cheers

Is it true this is what happened to Mr Whippy last week in Sydney.......

Stuart,
I lived about 130km sw of Shepparton in my childhood in the 50's and 60's and can remember a week or more of 40 plus a few times. Don't know if the weather is changing or just cycling.

G'day
Agree that heat like that is not welcome , its hot here in Queensland but not that hot.
How long has it lasted in the past in the south ?
Is it still likely in March ?
We are planning to visit the Murray river area in March but will cancel if its still this hot
and as Easter is very busy and we would prefer to be back home by then and off the roads and away from overcrowded camps and van parks
So if its too hot in March and we postpone till after Easter we will proberly find it too cold ,
So when do those familiar with the area think is the best time to visit?
Garry

Hey Stuart,

We have also just arrived in Shepparton (27th Jan) we started our journey last November in QLD. We are staying in Shepp for a few months as we have run out of money.......... How hot is it today Sat 7th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to the shops for some A/C relief.

Cheers
Matt, Caz & Kids

Mid Vic can have very long stretches of heat this time of the year. Global warming? Check out Europe right now.

it's sure a fair bit hotter on the Central Coast, NSW than it has been for a few years. Not that I'm convinced it's "global warming" - it's just the weather.

It's never been consistent, dammit.
