Everybody is talking about the heat

Of course, it is summer, after all.  Thing is, though, there seems to be compounding evidence of global warming. Massive fish kills in rivers where there is no flow and blue-green algae take over. The state had four days of heatwave this week. New records were set in several towns, both maximum daytime (47C) and minimum overnight (35C).

In the greater metropolitan area of Sydney, the range yesterday was 30C on the coast (thanks to the sea breeze) to 45C in western suburbs.  We peaked at 40C at 3:15pm.

Today, a blissful cool change has given relief, and the air-conditioner takes a rest.

 

Forecast is for another heatwave for next week!
