Thread: Oh, please...

Unfortunately that is what the world is coming to.

We haven't seen much over 35 degrees for the last few summers here,once we start getting the hot ones back,that is 38 to 42 degrees,for a couple of weeks,it is going to be panic stations for many,including the local media.

People generally have short memories.

We will get a few more jobs at work as well,many installers just shove refrigeration condensing units,and AC outdoor units anywhere,some in areas that get very little ventilation and or recirculate their own air.
I can hear the customer now " it worked fine for the last few years"
Sure it did, but we didnt have any temperatures over 35 degrees,today it is 42.

In 2009, the day my house caught fire, it was 44°. OK, given it was only a couple of weeks after Black Saturday, there was some cause for consternation, but it was not unusual for Melbourne in Jan/Feb. Summer temps like that are what I grew up with. 32° is SPRING here.

Things like those I pictured are designed to "educate" us that certain agendas are correct, that the zeitgeist is infallible.

As you say, short memories. I think I'll ditch the weather app. The weather is what it is, and no app will change that.

When it's not raining, that is

It gives them something to do. Panic is the purpose of the media. They have no other reason for their existence.

32 is just warm.

Are they claiming 32 is extreme heat or are they just warning that extreme heat is coming later?

Burrow a little deeper and the claim is for the day, and is not localized to here alone. Mid to high 30s in areas such as North West Victoria might be expected. In Victoria in Summer there's nothing "extreme" about that.

32 Degrees, nice winters day.
Probably only need a sleeveless pullover but definitely your fluffy thongs.
