Too hard when records are broken!

Sweating Six Word Saturday on Sunday
Not the year in review, but
images that etched lasting memories on
this septuagenarian evolving scientist’s active brain.
Here’s to a safe and happy 2020!
Keeping pace with Six Word Saturday
Normally these radar scans would suggest some decent rainfall. Sadly, for many days now, they are showing the smoke from bushfires.
Two weeks ago, this post was about Sydney blanketed in smoke. Not every day has been like that because of changes in wind direction. However, records have been set on three days with the index being 10-15 times the safe level for breathing. Today, 21 December is such a day. With temperatures rising above 40C, a number of fires have been declared at emergency level (red). Note: The fire map extends further south than the radar scans.
