Seems even hotter today, car read 46 at 1pm and hasn't helped by hot northerly winds... as I type from air conditioned comfort.

We get hot days like this about this time very year..
Then you hear people say.. "It's going to be a hot summer this year"

Then the temp drops off ... As it has...

Btw going by records.. In the early 1900's temps where higher !!

I went over to help some mates in case they had to evacuate but we didn't have to thank god. Awesome effort by the fire fighters and volunteers over there. Was a pretty cool sight driving home 2am between Rylstone and kandos you could see the orange glow and flames in the distance.

We here in Merriwa had mid 40s for a few days in a row during the heat spell. I went to Wauchope / Port Macquarie last week and it was mid 30s but humid as hell and I almost died. Give me a stinking hot 45 degree dry heat anyday!
