41C.
Might open a window or two.
:t2502:
41 C?? I think we experienced that 2 summers ago, in Las Vegas.
I think we hit 11 or 12 C here today, but breezy and quite wet, so it didn't really feel that warm.
11?
I'd be hiding under a pile of blankets next to a fire at full roar!!! That's not even remotely "warm"!!!

We've endured near freezing temps on and off for over a month, so warming up to record warm temperatures in January, are considered warm here.
Its going to be 30 on Saturday.
That is a cool change.

That is too hot.
Yeah...won't be snowing any time soon...
Quote from: "Bricktop"
I wish we could say the same.
I doubt you'd enjoy 41C, however.
Thermometer says 35 outside here but it's only a bit after 2pm. Should hit or get near to 40 by the end.

No, I wouldn't..
We had some hot days in the summer when we lived in Kazakhstan, but not that hot.

But, Vegas and Arizona are a dry heat. It's low thirties in Panama, and the heat can be stifling.
True, dry heat is so much better.
43 here...
Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
I would prefer a dry heat than humidity. Humidity makes ya feel sticky and in need of a shower.

Extreme humidity is hard on the body.

I felt that 40+ shit when my parents had a place in Arizona. With a breeze, it felt like a furnace.

I've been in 50 degrees and dry or not, it's frickin no fun.
11.00am and 43C.
The pool was delightful though.

When I converted, does that equal out to around 109F? I think the hottest it ever been here is around 106 or 108, then add in the heat index with the humidity. PLUS a dechero (sp?) (wind storm) hit this area on one of those weeks, and the whole area was out of power for nearly a week. That SUCKED! I couldnt stay here, and went to a relatives who had power and AC.

I can't remember Calgary ever reaching the mid thirties, but it might have.
Cool change hit last night. Only 28 today.
Where's my damn coat.
Average australian uses two times more water per day than an average nordic person.
Average american uses over 3 times more water per day..
Is it because australians and americans sweat more and thus require more water or because they spend an hour in the shower.
Every year Australia and certain parts of america suffer these warm dry seasons.. And they are running low on water.
Maybe they ought to change their habits.. Like needless usage of water.

But if you think Poehler's reported water use is bad, prepare yourself.
Someone in Bel Air, the exclusive West LA neighborhood that's been home to celebrities from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to Madonna and Adam Sandler, used close to 12 million gallons of water in a single year, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting.

When its 40 plus degrees, you tend to perspire. We shower twice a day in summer. We also have pools. We also need to DRINK twice as much as europeans.
For some reason Australians are fastidious with car care. Most cars are kept in pristine washed condition.
You should come visit in high summer. Then you'll understand.

Even 196 gallons is completely unacceptable.
Funny how they squander resources to a point of need for rationing even though L.A. is a nesting ground of environmentalists/animal activists etc.

Rich celebrities with their decadent, selfish lifestyles skew that number.

Even if you drink twice the amount of water, its still only a few liters per day..
Taking extremely long showers is unnecessary.
Swimming pools are a luxury.. And they are a really messed up luxury when the country is running out of water.
Most people just ruin the paintjob of a car when they wash it..
I´m just saying if australians changed their habits and lived like everybody else on the planet, there wouldnt be any shortages.
The idiocy is strong in this one.
What water shortage?
There is water waste in California, but it's not being done by average Californians.
Wastage is not necessarily shortage.
We had a drought about 5 years ago and went into rationing as a safety precaution. But we have a desal plant now, so we're drought proof.

No, but rationing in California doesn't seem to apply to rich celebrities.
That's not right.
But then again, America worships these performing seals like gods, so its no surprise.

Its in the news..
The local administrations are fearful of water running out in some areas of Australia.
And it triggers the "they are surrounded by an ocean" conversation every year.

Apparently its more like a guideline than an actual rule.
There is no punishment but decent citizens still try to avoid using too much water.

Ah, that's in Queensland. That's around 2000 kilometres from Adelaide, where there is no water shortage.
Its a BIG country, son.
