When Niagara Falls freezes over it's got to be very very cold!!

They are forecasting a Max at 41 here in Melbourne for Tuesday.

Lets hope for the elderly that they are wrong.

Take care folks when the temperature rises and keep an eye out on ones neighbours.   PLEASE.

As I don't have air con, you're right, night time can be worse.

I've often wondered why we don't build at least our bedrooms underground. 6m down and the temperature is always constant regardless of what happens on the surface.

They do exactly that at Coober Peedy :ok:

[robbiegal]

isn't there something about only owning about 1 metre down (or less) on your block of land?
or am I thinking that because I come from mt isa?

[Triggersmob]

I think you could be right, Robbiegal.
Not even sure we have a metre.
Hottest night on record for Perth last night.
29.7C at 3.00am this morning.
Then heated up to our max of 39.7 at 9.30am this morning.

[robbiegal]

ouch that is hot - I see on the weatherzone that you guys got 41 today

we had something like 35.2 today
getting major kitchen renos done early next month so for some weird reason the builder had our wool roof insulation taken out on Friday for batt replacement (ie a month before the reno is done - in the middle of summer)
I shall be on the hooter tomorrow about getting the batts in ASAP in soon as the heat coming through the ceiling to day was phenomenal

We have 39 predicted for late this week ( a few days of it)

[Triggersmob]

when we had our house built, they forgot to put the batts in a few of the cavities.
I still think they missed the room I am in now, but there is no way to see up there.

just got home and reading the news
Perth Hills has taken a shocking battering with fires - 46 homes lost and uncertain if more than one person has died

I have nothing to complain about!!
the old breezeair is on full bore (auto mode) and it is comfortable come this time of the afternoon

we are to cop the high temps tomorrow onwards - I hope that is all that we end up getting - fingers crossed

Yes robbie, this is a couple of suburbs away from our house. We are used to the threat of bushfire but this one was shocking. Several people missing. A fallen power pole is being blamed.

[Triggersmob]

Fires are now contained, but not controlled.
50 homes now destroyed.
One loss of life from heart attack.

We are always getting fires in the hills, but still these people do not prepare properly.

In bed with a wet tea towel around my head. Almost 1am and its still 31 degrees

Looks like it's sticking around here till Friday in Adelaide.  So much fun with four kids in the house and it's just too hot to go outside.
