The Heatwave

[TigerCleavage]

I can't imagine what it's like in my home town of Melbourne right now. It's only just hit the mid 30's in Tassie and i'm not having fun.

I'm about to walk outside to get the mail so I'll let you know.

Edit: It's pretty intense, but I think I could handle it. I nearly got 3rd degree burns on my feet, but besides that it's alright.

I walked went outside barefoot to to spray some water on the dog and it was torture. The concrete feels like an oven !

Is the tennis still on?

Let the dog come inside! It's 43C. It'd be dying.

Poor dog.

 

[OzBomber]

At Rod Laver, yes. They closed the roof. I think they should move some of the other matches over to Hisense Arena.

 

[Roos4eva]

Well, I live in SW Victoria and my mate just said it's 45 degrees on his thermometer outside.

Poor dog.

He's in the garage with a fan. He's coping better than I am. If he comes inside he'll malt everywhere, he's a lab.

I don't think closing the roof would make much difference would it?

Get him in ASAP!

My poor cockatiel is struggling, have to spray him every 15 or so minutes.

The mercury is set to rise to up to 45. Could this be the hottest Melbourne day on record?

adelaides temp just picked up again. phenomenal 5 day 40 temps. in WA we generally get that sort of weather but up to 3 days max and have had a few heat waves but ive never seen anything what adelaides had got in march 08 or what theyve got now in perth ever. max we've gotten here while alive was 44.5 and that was on boxing day 07.

 

[The Cotch]

If it isn't today, tomorrow it will be.

 

[Roos4eva]

So, I just walked outside in bare feet to see what 45 degree heat feels like.

Should not have done it.

The Doubles matches have been moved to indoors at Hisense Arena.

It's going to be shizenhousen sleeping tonight. Thankfully we live near the hills now so we get a breeze but it ain't gonna be much help.

Perth's highest ever recorded maximum was 46.2 on 23 February 1991.

Similar to this I'd imagine...

 

[red+black]

45.5C in Adelaide

Today? Imagine if they were playing cricket in Adelaide or Melbourne today! How intense would it be.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Thank you all for posting. Look after your neighbours and yourself (and family).

Bring back the pre-water restriction days and the sprinkler in the backyard lol.

 

[OzBomber]

Tomorrow is set to be Windy and 43. Wind burn alert! That's gonna be a nightmare.
