It is so hot

[Lets Roar like '44]

Melbourne get 1 or 2 days a year with 40c. Surely people can handle it. It's the constant 20c + nights that shit me.

 

[crackers57]

Melbourne current temp: 37.4 degrees. In Scoresby close to me the current temp is 35.2 degrees always a little bit lower than Melbourne because of altitude.

Not sure if srs

 

[Cruyff14]

38.5 here.

Not much we can do about it, so there is no point in whinging.

Feel bad for my husky dog, I brought him inside so he can lay in front of the aircon, he looks buggered.

Poor thing. Do you give him a hair cut over summer??

Someone told me a wet towell across a dog's back, wet their feet and genital area cools them down. If you can't get your woofer to the beach/pool on a hot day maybe get one of those kids wading pools.

Errrrr, by the way it's hot here, low 30's with humidity, but not as hot as you guys but still need the air con going but I'm lucky my back yard area is starting to shade up and a slight breeze kicking in. At least in Vic you will eventually get a cool change, here, not til end of May.

39.5 is the latest update from BOM which was at 5:14pm in Melbourne. This could be the maximum. The change will be a thundery change with the wind shift from the south.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Great dog for Australian conditions.

The hottest i've been in was 48.4 up in Shepperton a couple of years ago.....geez i felt like death

 

[Hipster Doofus]

The hottest ever is apperently 71.1 degrees during a heat burst in portugal in the 70's or something, only lasted 20 minutes or something before it went back to 38 degrees haha

It's quite interesting the weather

 

[flamethrower]

Last time I was in Las Vegas (2003) they had the hottest May day on record (officially 109F/43C). At 2am it was still 39 degrees!!!

The hottest weather I have aver experienced was driving through the Mojave desert between Las Vagas and LA - it hit 118F/48C.

Can't find this anywhere.

Do you have a link? Everywhere I've read it says 58.

In Australia, Marble Bar (WA) recorded maximum temperatures equaling or exceeding 37.8°C (100°F) on 161 consecutive days (between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924) - This remains a word heat record.

Found that really interesting.

there is the Portugal claim from Coimbra that was listed in the guiness book of world records, treated with a great deal of skepticism by experts.

Those who like their meat just lightly sizzled would bite into the person standing next to them if that were the case.
Here's some discussion form the weather underground folk about it

I remember that, was played in Sharjah. Luckily for Australia the Pakis collapsed pretty quickly in both innings and the match didn't last too long. Must have been a nightmare playing in that sort of heat.

Not too hot in Perth right now, normally it's scorching this time of year. No doubt we will cop some hot days soon enough though. I think we had a record number of consecutive days over 30 degrees around Jan/Feb last year. Was f***ing unbearable, minimum temps hardly ever got below the low to mid 20s.

Nah I'm pretty sure it was in Chittagong.

Two balls after tea on the first day, the Australians were already in front. With the temperature pushing 50°C in the middle, Hayden likened it to batting in an oven and wondered whether hell was any hotter.

I remember in Melbourne when we had the Black Saturday bushfires, the first thing I saw when I walked out of my work on the Thursday at 5pm, on a temperature gauge across the road was 45 degrees pop up.

I walked about 100m and sweat was literally dripping off my face.

It's still 31 degrees. Ridiculous

While in America and the Northern part of the Northern Hemisphere is Roasting marshmallows at this time of year we are roasting our carcasses.

It is 32.5 degrees right now. This is beyond hot.

Any one planning to sleep near a nice refreshing body of water?

 

[Cruyff14]
