Year after year we see these kinds of temps over here and for once the winds have changed and the eastern states have gotten it and all of a sudden the cities are on the verge of shutting down (according to a recent News.com.au article)....LMAO

Yes but not this constant heat, day and night, can't see it ending on the 7 day forecast! Usually its damn hot then the cool change ....... no cool change and I can't handle it!

Mate you need to experience eastern seaboard heat. 33c in Sydney is twice as bad as 40 in Perth. Melbourne is similar to an extent, not as bad as Sydney but high temps in Melbourne are infinitely more painful than in Perth.

I'm working here till 10. Getting into the car was horrible! Thankfully the office's are air-conditioned, just waiting for that to die now!

To quote the great scholar, Mr. R Rude, "Its so hot that I saw a dog chasing a cat today and they were both walking."

ILLaViTaR · 29-01-2009, 06:03 PM

It's ridiculously hot and our piece of crap Breezair isn't doing anything.

If you're in the market DO NOT BUY EVAP, GET REFRIDGERATED.

**TUF_302** · 29-01-2009, 07:35 PM

I live in tas and normally its not that hot, but it got to 38 today!, and down here that really burns!!

I know what you saying about all the gear. We have to wear the same down here with the place I work for .

Nah mate, I work for Stowe Aust. But yeah it would be very similar work.

Arvo beach visit for a surf works well.

Geez Louise · 29-01-2009, 08:09 PM

Thursday 50 degrees...Is that a misprint??? WOW ....NOW THAT IS HOT!!!

rodderz · 29-01-2009, 08:11 PM

50C on Thursday...bloody hell

I have been in 55C on the way to Carnarvon in WA years ago, when we stopped at a servo and got out it felt like you got smacked with a hot towel it was that hot. The road was all wet with melted tar

Geez Louise · 29-01-2009, 08:17 PM

Guess us Melbournites better brace ourselves for the next few weeks then. We tend to cop Adelaides weather a few days later...Next weekend looks like it will be a total scorcher!!

MITCHAY · 29-01-2009, 08:43 PM

They need another word between 'Very' and 'Hot' for that forecast. I'll give you a tip, it starts with a 'F' Enjoy!

Lost power at 9:30 last night, got it back about early afternoon I think. The Ice Creams in the freezer haven't re-frozen fully yet and the ice blocks melted. Had the A/C running since 4pm and only just got the inside temp under 30. The power grid is struggling. Running the A/C and microwave simultaneously leads to hiccups in power delivery. I only needed 3 minutes from the microwave. So I'm running the fridge, A/C, PC (the essentials) and 1 light and I don't think they'll give me much more juice than that.

I will agree with you there mate, i reckon the hole in the ozone layer is directly above Hobart. I went down there the other year in December after having high 30s in Perth for weeks and being down the beach all the time and being real well tanned.... Was shooting a race event in Hobart and thought oh its only 25 I will be fine without sunscreen..... I went there brown and came back pink, absolultely unbelievable how strong the rays seem down there.

Your lucky. My little portable air con unit is struggling to knock 5 degrees off the temperature in my lounge room let alone the rest of my house. I'm worried my computer is going to burn up as it's in the back room and I'd say it's still about 40 degrees in here!

At least we aren't having any blackout or power issues where I am thank god. There is no way I could survive without at least a fan blowing some hot air on me.

The hot days dont worry me, it's the fact it doesn't cool down at night thats the killer. I'm putting off doing the dishes because I will end up dripping wet with sweat standing in front of the kitchen sink

Geez, I put off doing the dishes because I’m a lazy b******d. Besides that, she does a better job than me so she can do them all the time. :hihi:

Powdered Toast Man · 29-01-2009, 11:42 PM

Unfortunately Full Noise if I dont do them nobody else will since no-one else lives in my house

Maybe if I leave them long enough the resident huntsmans will do them

Yes you can, Sam. Duff Zero is the beer for you… Oh Yeah.

blueoval · 30-01-2009, 12:32 AM

50 degrees is retarded. I have never personally experienced that, and dont want to. Im struggling to cope with mid 40's. Considering free balling tomorrow.

Geez Louise · 30-01-2009, 12:34 AM

Thanks for the visual Shav!
