I don't mind the heat. Panama where I'm moving is too humid.

47.7 is seriously hot.



You stay well out of the sun, and do not undertake physical labour unless you are conditioned and fit.



Happily, I believe we only lost 2 people...one an elderly person who simply did not know how hot it was and went outside. After 5 minutes they collapsed.



I can't recall what the other was.

Toronto amd Los Angeles lose people every summer due to heat and smog.

Whilst we're more geared towards extreme heat, the elderly and the very young can be vulnerable.



Most houses are air conditioned these days. If that 47.7 had hit 30 years ago, they would be digging graves for months.

It's like 15-18c here in NSW right now. So glad I wore leggings and a jumper during this fishing trip.



Though wind aside, the sky is quite beautiful.

I wonder if that's a problem in any Australian cities.

These Canucks didn't believe me when I said that the Polar Vortex had hit Australia too.

looks like a shut-in day watching movies

I might have to shift my butt quickly and get to the shops early.... like within the next hour.



Oh the drudgery of being a house frau.

Tell me about it.



It's washing day.

Try living on a drilling lease for the four coldest months of the year.

Most of North America will be in an extended polar vortex.

And Australia.



Don't forget Australia.

No thanks... if I was in Canada, I'd be in a cave under 40 sheep skins and I wouldn't come out until summer.

They don't have a summer.



It just stops snowing for a few months.
