:confused: Could be global warming or the looming Cold war. It's hard to blame North Korea, I mean they were just "Testing".

I think we really just missed winter. No rain, not bad weather for Victoria.

Spring has sprung - did you see it??
In Perth we had (1) no winter because of very little rain (2) spring for 1 day and now we are into autumn weather.:D In fact we have two 12 year old franjipani trees - one has new leaves and the other has not yet lost all it's leaves from previous season :rolleyes:. What on earth is going on???

Well, if you don't want your 30 degrees, send it up here, because it is just coming autumn and SWMBO is already phissed off about it. :mad: (Personally, I like it. :) )

It's not as oppressive as your heat, but it saps the energy just the same. When it gets to 44deg C (112 F) we'll gladly send you some:eek:

It's all John Howard's fault.

38C and bloody windy all day. I was surprised the local CFS didn't go out more (one call that I heard) - it appears that even the local pyros were caught by surprise.

ps, my Siamese loves it ... but he has cold pains when the temp drops below 30C :rolleyes:

Ahhh. . . nothing gets you dripping sweat like Beaufort (or Charleston for that matter) in the summer. :D Luckily up here in Greenville, nearer the mountains, it's not quite so bad. But 100 degrees is HOT, no matter what the humidity. ;)

Peter Costello, in a word! Our erstwhile economic rationalist is slowly but quietly rationalising the seasons for us, This year no Spring (or at least a blurry one), and not a lot of proper Winter. Next year, have a look at Autumn and see what he does to that! By 2008 we will have no seasons at all, just weather. And then in the elections following 2008, Pete will promise to give them back to us if we vote for him. He thinks we are all mugs and don't notice these things until it's too late (like bracket creep).

With humidity hitting almost 0%, it would have been a great day to calibrate your Andy Mac humidity gauge :)
