Hot and Sunny

...and we've hit 30 degrees.

(That's 86 degrees, for you Fahrenheity folks.)


I am suddenly wearing summer clothes, carrying round a parasol (yes, a parasol), letting the breeze flow through my house's open windows, staying in the shade, and wanting ice-cream.


If this was the height of summer, I'd be fine. But it's only mid-spring. I'm not going to survive February.



ETA: now 32 degrees...

And it's creeping closer and closer to cold here (well, at the moment it's doing that weird hot/cold/hot/cold thing that produces all those lovely tornadoes, but that won't last long). I feel that it is absolutely necessary for me to cross the equator. 86 sounds fabulous to me. Can I crash on your couch?

Well, at least now you have a little evaporative cooler for your bedroom :-)

Today wasn't the big one for me. It was yesterday, with the rain and the heat and the mugginess and the absolute zapping away of any energy I might have had. Stupid weather!

Just before 4pm, it was 31℃ near us and 23℃ in the CBD. Grr. I want a cool change. Now.

And now, it's dropped by 10 degrees, and yesterday I had to switch from shorts, tshirt and barefeet back to jeans, jumper, and socks.
Argh. I do not know how I will survive Summer. A friend told me it's predicted to get up to 50C.
FIFTY.
At that point, all the electricity stations will fail from airconditioner-overload. :-(
(Actually, our power regularly fails in the warmer weather, thanks to dodgy country power supply)
