.....the last couple of days.
While some people are freezing we are almost melting. Thankfully I am still here after a couple days of 40+ celsius days of temperatures. Summer is half way over here and we still have high 30's to endure this week and next.

I was watching this on the news last night. They were saying it was up to 46C. And there were fires breaking out all over.
I hope every one keeps safe and this heat wave ends soon.

That's hot, hot, hot... Hope you have AC.
Highest temperatures ever recorded for Australia was 50.7 °C (123.3 °F), at Oodnadatta, South Australia in 1973-02-07

I heard on the news they had to postpone some of the tennis matches because of the heat. It certainly can get hot during the summertime. The one constant regarding weather and climate is that it changes. It always has and it always will.
