It’s too hot to write. At its hottest it was 36.7°C (98.06°F) yesterday, and we’re expecting a top temperature of 39°C (102.2°F) today! It didn’t really cool down at all last night; the weather bureau reports that it got down to 25.4°C (77.7°F) at precisely 3:54am, and at 6:00am it was 26.5°C (79.7°F).
There’s a warm wind blowing at the moment, and lots of wispy clouds in the sky. (The picture is a view from our back step.)
At least it’s airconditioned at work; poor Baubles the Cat will swelter in her fur coat at home today.
Update (6:00am 22 February): It got to 40.1°C (104.1°F) at 12:43pm yesterday. About half an hour after that it started to rain, and a report I heard on the news said that the temperature dropped by 10° in half an hour when it started raining. It was the hottest day this summer, and according to the weather bureau we can expect one more similarly hot day before summer ends. It’s supposed to be 35°C (95°F) and humid today.

Ohhh… i wish i was in your backyard today. It’s been seriously underwhelming weather in Sydney. It’s almost as though we’ve given up on summer here.
Hi there.. I have totoally no idea but I ‘met’ cyn at the net years ago, then I found you at the net via Rambling librarian and found Cyn again. Anyway, to cut it short, I am a library student/staff/freak at Perth. My research interest is blog and libraries, I do blog but mostly on nonsense.. hehe. Nice to meet you =)
Cherry, 40° days are a bit extreme though, don’t you think?
