Re: Scorching !
Trouble is this is SUMMER and all the summer fruit and veg is now becoming cheap as so there won't be much moanin' for a while. I have fresh apricot crumble baking the oven and we're munching asparagus heaps. Aubergines are now $1.50 and from now on for months it's just munch munch munch. Mmmmm

Yeah but remember, now cheap food AND no heating costs....and you wouldn´t believe how many places are FREE parking outside the city itself. We´re off to the Browns Bay Santa parade and airshow later.....hmmm should be ok in jandals and tee´s Hope Santa doesn´t get too hot
Oh and salt only goes on food here...which is why you still get the occasional SD1, Mk2 Escort and even Austin land-crab on the roads...

Re: Scorching !
Well, I'm hoping for scorching today as I have a free day, nothing planned, nothing urgently requiring my attention and a hammock and good book with my name on it.

Scorching today!!!
Way too hot for me but also very windy, the wind has flattened quite a few of the plants in the garden
Still scorching at 10.15pm but at least the hot air winds seem to have calmed down
Maybe this should be in the Christchurch peculiar weather thread

Re: Scorching !
I was in Welly today working, and it was like winter in the UK. Then I flew back to ChCh tonight and it was the scariest bumpiest flight ever due to the nor'wester
Definitely should be in the Strange ChCH weather, as now it's so warm that we have the aircon on at 10pm

Re: Scorching !
It's been another steamy and horribly clammy day, rather than scorching day in Auckland. The humidity is something ridiculous like 94%.

Re: Scorching !
It's never affected me like this in other years - maybe because we had a more gradual lead up to it ........ in February! It's crazy weather all over the world - I suppose if we had the choice we'd mostly pick the humidity... but only after consideration. It really does get to you after a while, especially when the aircon breaks down at work

Far too hot to continue with the veg garden makeover. Better to sit on the deck and just think about the revamp.
