Now for those who keep harping on that Melbourne's weather is crap ...

Hello stranger
Can we swop id much rather have your weather than the snow we have here.

crap for snow ski-ing.

Bugger ...not thought of that

I luved the fog today, felt at home, then had a bloody good day at work and drove home in the sunshine, ehhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm maybe i'll settle eventually

38 is crap - too bloody hot !

Oh stop it

Moan when it gets 45+

I had to put my head in the freezer today to cool down.

and no, it's not detachable like Wurzle Gummidge.

Normal body temperature is 37 degrees celsius (98.6 F)
Once the air temp passes this mark, your body simply does not cope very well.

It's basic science really and my body knows its limits :-)

Have you been in Melbourne when it is 45+ ...it is not nice at all !

Living in Melbourne for the last 5 years.
I can say I am pretty well acclimatised here now.
In fact, I would not probably survive a winter in Ireland if I ever went back there.

Most of my mates here are Aussie born though and they struggle once it gets past the mid 30s.
It's especially a problem for our friends with kids as it means they have to cancel their picnic plans etc if it starts hitting the high 30s.

I recall Jan '03 when it once hit 44.1 degrees (the hottest on record since the 1939 45.6 record)but can never recall 45+ in the 5 years I have been here.

I would say that it rarely gets over 42 degrees in Melbourne and that maximum is usually only ever for a day or two.

Saying all that, I will stick to my original comment. Once the temp gets past 37 degrees (your body temperature), it is too hot.

Don't you remember the summer before last when it reached 47C in the January ? I do...I was in Fitzroy that day ...and it stunk of burnt bricks.
Remember - the temp is recorded at Tullamarine where it is always a little cooler than the City....that's where it hit 47.

I've been here 3 years now...and like you say, have acclimatised too.

Can't say I do recall anything like that - no.
Temps are recorded at stations all over the state btw, not just at Tulla.
In actual fact, weather station 86071 (the BOMs Melbourne regional office) is exactly just 1km from Fitzroy, so you would expect their readings to be pretty accurate for that area.

Maybe you were standing outside a building on fire though , hence the smell of burnt bricks ;-)
