Hasn't really been hot here this summer yet,had i think maybe two days at 35 and that was it,Christmas was pretty cool which was a bit odd.

It hasn't been particularly hot, but by cricky it's been muggy. I was drenched by five this morning.

Melbourne is set to hit 42C today, a figure a climate expert has called a once in a decade heat event.

lol, once in a decade event...

Pfft , was 48 here the other day

Only 41.4C so far today here. Probably only get another couple of degrees hotter.

Watch out for snakes in this heat .
I came with in inches this morning of one reaching for a tap in longish grass at work .
It was a small copper head which was good cause it high tailed it out of there quick smart

Well the heatwave is finally over, back to normal 19° melbourne weather

Not here it isn't - 27C at 0645! Forecast 40C max today, "raised dust", possible thunderstorm. However, fire danger is only "very high".

but good for business, we had a lot of heat related breakdowns and customers wanting cooling system parts. it only takes a hot day and flaws in the cooling systems show up.
