Unlike so many others, I'm not whinging about the 35 degree days and the mid 20's temperatures at close to 3AM.

Thought I'd post a thread where you can talk about the weather where you live.

1st - isn't there numerous iApps that serve this function.

2nd - dont they say people who run out of things to talk about start talking about the weather? :). Honestly, next time you're in a conversation that is heading nowhere and those awkward silences start coming in... someone will start talking about the weather.

Sat - minus 13
Sun - minus 15
Mon - minus 18 (low of minus 24)
Pretty much this for the next three months

Honestly, wouldn't be too fussed if the world did end next Friday.

Your lucky, I'd love to experience those temperatures.
Does that make me weird?


It's been a fairly warm start to summer here in Hobart, rarely dipping below 12 degrees at night.
Had quite a few 25+ degree days as well.
Two 30+ degree days in late November and one so far this month.
 
Yesterday was kind of messed up. It was around 0 and we had a bunch of snow. It usually only snows in Vancouver a few times a year. Lots of slippery roads and accidents. Also, a new bridge that cost $1 billion and only opened a couple of months ago had icicles falling off the cables. They had to close the bridge because people were getting their windscreens smashed in :eek:
 
Perth up to boxing day.

Yesterday 37
Today 32
Saturday 27
Sunday 28
Monday 33
Christmas 40
boxing day 39

Up down, up down, wouldn't be surprised if we brought in the new year with some rain.
 
When I lived at college we had a guy who was obsessed with the weather. He used to live on the top floor on the south side of the building so he could watch the storms roll in, and he bribed the maintenance man to let him set up a whole lot of instruments on the roof with wires run down into his room (barometer, hygrometer, thermometer, anemometer and so forth). Had this massive wall chart in his room where he tracked the campus climate for three years. Used to provide weather updates to the uni radio station, and warned us over the PA when hailstorms were coming so we could move our cars.

Aside from that, totally normal guy and awesome to hang out with. Cannot for the life of me remember his name though, everyone just called him Weatherman.

It's 10:20am and 41.2c.

Next 10 days according to the weather channel are :

25/42
25/41
25/39
24/40 (Christmas day with storms)
28/40
24/34
21/32
22/38
25/40
27/41

it will get hotter over the coming months. When it hits 47c they close the airport. Seems to happen at least a couple of times each year.
 
Currently 41.3 degrees in Hobart.
Today has been our hottest day ever on record.

I'm not used to this kind of heat...

South Australia?
When Hobart hit 41.8 i thought that was hot, i can't imagine another 8 degrees on top of that. :eek:

Wow insane temps, i bet the Australian record of 50.8 will be broken soon.
 
I'm in WA, place called Leinster, about 400km north of Kalgoorlie.

I thought the record was higher than 50.8. I seem to remember when I was here before in the late 80s that Port Hedland had 51 one day.

Ah i see, my mum and sister lived in Kalgoorlie for a time.
Must be tough living in such consistent hot temperatures.

I just looked it up then and the official record is 50.7 degrees, set in Oodnadatta, South Australia on the 2nd January, 1960.

I hope where you work is indoors and air-conditioned. 96% humidity blimey!
 
Don't recall Perth ever really having such humid weather, though the weather reports say its only around 33%. Not as bad growing up in Port Hedland though where the moment you'd set foot out the front door you'd be ankle deep in your own sweat.

Remember been up at Mt Keith (few hours north of Kalgoorlie) and there was three weeks straight of 40 plus temp which was sheer torture, so I guess I can't really complain about the current hot spell here.
 
Eww....not missing the 40+ weather. Hope you guys get a break soon. I also thought the highest temp was hotter than 50.7. I was in 49-50 degree weather once when I was around Mungo National Park. Didn't enjoy it. Feels like you are being microwaved.

It's 2 degrees here now which is fine. The rain is getting annoying though.
