44C in Sydney now!?
 

My widget shows me 44C in Sydney now. How it is? oauu...I'm scared! :scared:

45C now...it's rising... :scared:

Re: 44C in Sydney now!?
 

It's 48 both here and in Sydney - was up to 49 at one point, but didn't quite hit the big five o. I'd say it's a safe bet that the power stations are enjoying high demand for juice ...

How it is then? you can walk or just stay under A/C with loads of cold beers?

Re: 44C in Sydney now!?
 

Bloody hot. Bring on the southerly change.

Re: 44C in Sydney now!?
 

My outside thermo is reading 45C and its in the shade and wind :scared:

There is currently a major bushfire in the Woy Woy/Phegans Bay residential area and the F3 is closed in both directions at Mount White because of another fire right by the road.

The Woy Woy fire is expected to head towards Umina and Pearl Beach in the next few hours. Some fire vehicles have already been destroyed in this.

The southerly change is not expected through Sydney and northwards until at least 10pm.

Anyone who is on the beach today needs locking up in a mental insitution!

Re: 44C in Sydney now!?
 

It's alright walking around actually. Affected my parents though - they stuck the aircon on and haven't budged from the sofa all day.

Re: 44C in Sydney now!?
 

My air con is broke and not due to be repaired until the 9th :mad: and the bush fire is raging right by us, we can see the helicopter dropping his water about half a k away :mad: :mad: .May need to pack.

I'm in Sydney... and I have no fan... To say I'm melting is an understatement... :eek:

Take care over there.

One of my neighbours - a fire station "commander" - reckons they are extremely concerned over this one - particularly for Pearl Beach and Patonga - although Umina is also at major risk. He says they are having great difficulty containing it - even with the helicopter "bombers" that you can see.

Evacuations are going on at the moment - keep a listen out - and good luck.

The wind has just hit Cremorne blown my webcam off the laptop

Well, that was quite incredible. One second i'm wallowing in the pool to escape the furnace and within about 10 seconds this wonderful cold wind blows right through me!! I see a storm coming now. Some sheet lightening about. What a relief
