Well, Adelaide hit an all time high of 46.6C today. In fact in South Australia, there was only one weather station that read less than 40C, and that was as far south as you can go. Every weather station set a new record for a maximum temperature.
I was going along quite well, only switched my air con on at about midday. So, all good, bored out of my brain, but ok ......
Until the power went off at 7:30pm 🙀 There was zero breeze/wind so it was sweltering, and the power didn’t return until 35 mins ago (11pm).
We’ve a small cool change wandering through tonight, all of this lot will be moving on to Melbourne, Vic tomorrow. As we share an electrcity inter-connecotr with Vic, there are no garuantees that the power will stay on - oh joy!
Interesting blog on The Guardian (OZ Edition) - the heat map is pretty amazing
Photo for all those who are feeling a little chilly 🤣
You're one hot bod Deb! Pretty impressive map. I do hope it doesn't turn humid with it & tomorrow brings the promised cooler temps with no more leccy outages.
Fortunately the southern part of OZ is not generally humid, and it’s currently a very pleasant 26C, with a breeze, which should help move the hot air out of the house!!
My sister in law's son is in Sidney, centre. He usually copes ok in the heat but he'd been food shopping & said it was really draining. They're going out in April, by then it should be more temperate. I hope the breeze continues to move the air for you. Take care.
