I wonder if it will get to 40 in Perth today, at the moment it is 39 so it wouldnt surprise me. Looking forward to later going to the beach for a swim, bet it will be packed! They said there is a risk of the skyworks being cancelled tomorrow due to the fire danger. I can't do the beach at these temps. Sizzling sand, frying parking lot. No fun whatsoever. Oh and it did get to 41.1C today. Even Rotto made it to 39.5. That must be awful. We were out there at 34C back in late November and that felt too warm for roaming around the island (especially since you won't be in an a/c car). |
Re: Perth heatwave.
Went to Cottosloe Beach mid morning for a few hours. Probably due to the excessive heat the beach was busy but far from full.
Water close in a little dirty but better further out. Still refreshing in the sea but too hot to linger long on the beach but did a hours walk all the same. Don't do a/c myself as OH has an allegy to it. A lot of cold showers and disturbed sleep this week perhaps. |
Re: Perth heatwave.
Just had a swim in the pool, it was great.

Re: Perth heatwave.
Took the dogs out at 6 this morning but it was hot then.We will take them out again after 7 but in the car this time so they can cool down on the way back.
We don't have the aircon on but the windows are open and there is a breeze coming through the house though it is mainly hot air:eeg:This evening I will have a dip in my daughters paddling pool. It is hard on the dogs though one of them goes under the bed the other one is at my feet which makes a change from on my lap.He is so stupid in the heat as he will go outside and just chase the dragonfly round the pool and down the garden until I make him come in. Might go to the cinema and make use of their aircon tomorrow! |

Sounds like my daughter she came in from the pool and asked me to close the windows as she was cold!

We had a friend stay a few years ago that kept turning off the A/C, in the end I gave her a duvet and hid the remote. |

High 30s here in Adelaide. We've been using the spa for hours every day. Cleaned it out again recently:
http://sporkboy.smugmug.com/Other/Re.../IMG1650-M.jpg http://sporkboy.smugmug.com/Other/Re.../IMG1651-M.jpg I've also added a solar powered heating system! http://sporkboy.smugmug.com/Other/Re.../IMG1819-M.jpg http://sporkboy.smugmug.com/Other/Re.../IMG1820-M.jpg Garden hose on hot concrete with one end plugged into a jet. Dodgy as, but it works. :lol: |

Why do you want to heat the water??? :confused:
Doesn't need to be heated that much, just a few degrees to make it tepid. :) |
Re: Perth heatwave.
Trains were running late because of the heat so my train was packed. Packed with stinky bodies. :sick:
Got home and thought I'd like to go for a quick swim but lazy ass 17 year old child didn't take the cover off like I told her to. Pool temperature 41°. Air temperature 39°. The water was actually hot. :thumbdown: |
Re: Perth heatwave.
Cool mid twenties here in Canberra and it's been like that most of the summer. A weird summer indeed.
