Meanwhile it is 45.1 in Jammu
This will help Maxi feel cooler in Paris.

Mercury hits 45.1 degrees, Jammu sizzles; no respite for few more days
Express News Service
*
Jammu, June 21: MONDAY nearly broke a hot, uncomfortable record when the
mercury jumped to 44.6 degree Celsius. And as Monday melted into Tuesday,
the mercury soared some more, jumping to 45.1 degrees ‹ another step closer
to the record of the decade, which stands at 45.9 degree. That was in the
June of 1995.
Meteorologist say if the rain doesn¹t hit the region soon, the temperature
might cross 47 degrees, which would be the highest in the last decade.
In the last few days, the temperature has been steadily rising, from 41.9
degrees on Saturday and 42.8 degrees on Sunday to 45.1 degrees on Tuesday.
Met department¹s officiating head T K Joshi says the temperature is hovering
at four to five degrees above normal. He too says that if the rain does not
bring respite soon, the mercury might cross an all-time high.
Though this summer is not being so far classified as ŒŒunusual¹¹, Joshi says
given the extended winters and the tardy summer, the met department is
studying the reason behind the variations. Å’Å’We have yet to reach a
conclusion, but the variations are being studied. Different aspects like
global warming are being considered,¹¹ he added.
Joshi also said that the monsoon will arrive in the first week of July, and
that will bring some relief.
Agrometerologist, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Science, M K
Khushu said the temperature is expected to cross 47 degrees in case there
are no local showers.
Khushu also said that heat wave will persist for the next three to four
days. He added that the farmers have been asked not to work in the field
during the day time. He also said that vegetables and orchards need
artificial irrigation and that the prevailing weather condition might cause
ŒŒstem borer and leaf hopper¹¹ in rice seedling.
Khushu said there are also chances for powdery mildew in grapes and
bacterial blight in pomegranate, but these can be protected by proper
spraying of the plant.

I had it happen once. I tripped over a curb in the parking area of CDG 1 and
fell flat, bracing my fall with my hands. My shoulder hurt for days
until one day is "popped". It was dislocated and I did not realize it.
After than I still had problems lifting my arm straight from my side and
out. The doctor said rheumatism. But it eventually went away.
So patience. It will go away. If it does,try and convince Grunge to go away
too. :-)

I think mine is arthritis from an accident many moons ago, so I guess it is
getting bad enough to see the doc and go on the waiting list for a
replacement. I'm sure that with Phoney Liars new improved NHS I shall only
have to wait a few weeks (before I catch MRSA).

Melbourne, Ash Wednesday, 1983, 43C was bad enough.

Not many major cities would go through that. Not a day I'd
want to go through again. A week before that day, my pool
turned black from the ash from the Mt Macedon fires - and
that was just the prelude.
Sorry to get serious, but it struck a chord.

Mt Macedon is such a cool place too. I rode from Macedon to the cross
on top of the hill. An utter bastard of a ride that damn near killed
me! When I finally got there some of the other tourists applauded me
for the effort.
No doubt the bushfire had a massive impact of the people though. Even
to this day the locals are reluctant to talk about it.
For me it represents the Australians perpetual efforts to live a
civilised life in a land than doesn't forgive. I kinda wish I could go
back for a while at the thought of it all...

The people who get affected by bushfires are people who live in
ridiculous areas. They deserve what they get. Australians are obsessed
with having a spacious living environment, so they live in bushland
areas in the middle of nowhere.
I live in a civilised suburb of Brisbane and if a bushfire strikes I
will have a good view from my balcony of all the woop-woop suburbs being
razed.
