I think i like the snow here in Holland more... I like it when it is hot outside, but 50° C is a little to much lol

See you soon Durga if you come to Sydney (we can debate the merits of Hidden v Public Draw votes :D).

And a slight correction - it was only 38 in Sydney yesterday - 50 was way out back in the bush/desert.

It was 44 in Melbourne. Git gud, Sydney.

How can you live in 44C?? I'm half dying when it is 35C here lol

I have just this month fixed my second air-to-air heating/cooling system before next summer when we probably get 30C or warmer. Last summer we had 30C+ for a month or so and they were too busy to fix it since everyone wanted service the same time.

In an entirely Diplomactically correct way I do LOVE our Dipbro Brainbomb and thank him for his interest in events in Australia. Australia is a large island~quasi~continent, so has a wide range of weather/climate/eco~systems.
Since the heat waves in January to which Dipbro Brainbomb referred to with this thread, cyclonic low pressure systems dumped vast Waters onto Queensland and major floods killed tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of cattle, but those same floodwaters are revitalising parched lands suffering from drought and will do so for months to come, for some areas, 18 months of relief & life.
Then we've had another heat wave at the end of February affecting the southern half of Western Australia, Sth Australia, Victoria, NSW & Tasmania, with bushfires in all those States.
There's some feedback into the domestic political debate about global warming & our coal mining and exporting industry's ambitions to open new coal mines in the Carmichael basin in Queensland.
