Outback sees temperatures exceeding 50. Even places close to the coast like Port Pirie have recorded 48.6, and Penrith (a suburb of Sydney) hit 48.9. You faced a relatively mild summer day. Nothing to get too distressed about. The thing you should be distressed about is that the breakfast menu went on to the second column on the page and you might have missed a better option. Lucky the misso saw the hotcakes.
Worked 10 days straight on a cattle station (about 200km North-West of Roma, it went from 45-51C, in a basin like area, practically no breeze even at 9pm (cooler, about 35-40 though); Where i live it is usually 35-43C (fair bit cooler ATM YAY, want to move to Taz...).
Or Crêpes Suzette which sounds way classier than hotcakes! Toppings might be an interesting discussion. Lemon juice and sugar, honey or maple syrup, or blueberry jam with whipped cream and vanilla ice-cream. The possibilities are endless!

I have lived in Australia for 56 yrs and I still struggle with the heat especially when the humidity is up. Having a pool and air conditioning is a must. Joe I wear glasses and experience the same challenges lol
A pool, i've seen those things; AC, i wish... I live in an old weatherboard house, it's like an oven, sometime when it's real hot, it doesn't cool down to comfortable til 12pm-3am, i think i'll move to south island NZ or Taz...
Ive been in Bris for about 12 years now, but I grew up in Cairns. I would take 36° in Brisbane over 28° in Cairns any day. The humidity makes the air feel heavy on your shoulders. And you're always wet. Love the vlogs guys, sunny coast is one of the best part of Aus (Cairns defs has better reef, rainforst and freshwater swimming holes than anywhere else). Lived in Noosa for a year when I was 18, and it was the best year of my life.
For me, humidity feels 10 degrees hotter than the actual temp. In Adelaide, 37 is hot, but on the edge of bearable….in QLd, I can not be outside above about 32 degrees. I can do about 40 degrees outside under our patio cover in Adelaide. I pop on swim wear and dip in our spa (set to around 32 degrees) then sit with a book under an outdoor ceiling fan (while wet) the temp is perfect all day long for me like this! I just dip in the spa when it gets too hot!
I'm from Melbourne and spent a couple of months working in Brisbane Feb to Apr last year. Between the heat, the humidity and the tropical rain at 35 degrees it was almost the end of me. Understand why almost every town has a Dan murphy....
Used to do concreting/gardening/landscaping around Briz (6am-6pm, sometimes 8:30Pm, 6 days a week, can't do that anymore, i'm over 130km west of Briz now, dry heat, want to move to Taz if they haven't Fvcked it up; Have 3 sisters in Adelaide.
As a Brisbane local originally from Melbourne, the humidity (or lack of) and the "feels like" temperature are key... a 42° Melbourne day doesn't compare to 32+ in Brisbane (or anywhere with higher humidity) The "feels like" temp is shown of the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) app.
We had temps overnight of 30+C in Perth the last week or so, weather this summer is nuts at the moment. If this is your first summer in Aus, you can whinge your arse off.
Trust me, after a long Brisbane summer, you will be amazed how quickly the temp and humidity drops and winter time you will really feel the cold! The contrast between the seasons is very pronounced when you live in sub tropical south east Queensland. Further north, even Townsville and Cairns, have cold winters which is absolutely the best time to visit. Living in the tropics, you really enjoy the winters!
This is a bit long and pretty old but still relevant and very funny. August 31 Just got transferred with work from Leeds UK to our new home in Karratha, Western Australia. Now this is a town that knows how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I watched the sunset from a deckchair by our pool yesterday. It was beautiful. I’ve finally found my new home. I love it here. September 13 Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I’m turning into a sun-worshipper - no blasted rain like back in Leeds!! September 30 Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me! Another scorcher today, but I love it here. It’s Paradise! October 10 The temperature hasn’t been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it’s windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatizing is taking longer than we expected. October 15 Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days off work. What a dumb thing to do. Got to respect the old sun in a climate like this! October 20 Didn’t notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning. By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit. I’ve learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat. October 25 This wind is a bastard. It feels like a giant fucking blow dryer. And it’s hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs to order parts from fucking Perth ….The wife & the kids are complaining. October 30 The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still haven’t arrived for the fucking air conditioner. House is an oven so we’ve all been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $600,000 house and we can’t even go inside. Why the hell did I ever come here? November 4 Finally got the fucking air-conditioner fixed. It cost $1,500 and gets the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 35. Stupid repairman. Fucking thief. November 8 If one more smart bastard says ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I’m going to fucking throttle him. Fucking heat! By the time I get to work, the car radiator is boiling over, my fucking clothes are soaking fucking wet and I smell like baked cat. Fucking place is the end of the Earth. November 9 Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in my car. I thought my fucking arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and off my fucking arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. November 10 The Weather report might as well be a fucking recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and fucking sunny. It never fucking changes! It’s been too hot to do anything for 2 fucking months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Fuck! November 15 Doesn’t it ever rain in this damn fucking place? Water restrictions will be next, so my $5,000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the fucking pool. The only things that thrive in this fucking hell-hole are the fucking flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the little bastards! November 20 Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 fuckin’ degrees today. Now the air conditioner’s gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I wanted to shove the fucking car up his fucking arse. Anyway, had to spend the $2,500 mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid prick. Fucking Karratha! What kind of sick, demented fucking idiot would want to live here! December 1 WHAT!!!! The FIRST day of Summer!!!! You are fucking kidding me!
14:28 Fucking gold ,pissing myself laughing ,the poor bloody cat 😂😂 you sir are a whinging bloody pomm,need to get yourself some floaties before the floods come 😂😂 stay safe mate enjoy
Perth's temperatures since last Sunday have been 39 degrees: Monday 44, Tuesday 39, Wednesday 37, Thursday 41, and Friday 33. During summer, Perth experiences many days of 36 degrees.
@@thrusta100was that for the last week here in Perth area 39°+ with a few days over 44 and 75% humidity. You can keep that shit, I'll stick with the usual dry heat when it comes back haha
If you live in England and you want to know what it is like to walk out of Air Conditioning into the heat - have you ever had your face too close to the oven when you open it? That. And close to the coast the humidity is high so it is like having your face too close to opening microwave popcorn. (Don’t do it intentionally. Steam burns are dangerous). I have experienced 50C once in a demountable classroom in Emerald. Fortunately the grade 12s were finished for the year so we called the office and swapped rooms.
I was thinking that 36°C isn't too bad. At least it's not 40+, but then I remembered where you are... Queensland. The heat plus the humidity is not fun.
Butterflies like the humidity and they need it for all aspects of their life/development. If you haven't already, there's a cute little butterfly house in Nambour called Butterfly Hill.
Hi ,Mate,I live in Western Sydney and today was a cool 32. Last week we got 41 with a lot more hot weather to come in the next w months. We usually have days 0f 40 to 45 most Summers in the past.so far this year it’s been pretty cool in the Low 30s’.You need to get used to our hot summers if you intend to stay here for a while.Enjoy your trip.
For me that's a flapjack not a hotcake. But that's semantics since they're basically both just a thicker pancake. Definitely not a pancake, which are thinner and closer to a crepe. They're all basically the same but with different thickness and viscosity when poured, although I'm sure someone is offended by that statement.
Hot cakes, like french fries, are examples of the progressive Americanisation of our culture. Until McDonald's spread across the continent (like the red Martian weed in War of the Worlds) we said pancakes and chips. And pancakes were a dessert, served as a special treat, not a breakfast item. The younger generations probably aren't even aware of the American influence. To this day I stubbornly refuse to refer to chips as "fries". And it’s the humidity that you'll find will knock you about the most. We lived at Gunnedah, northern central NSW, many years ago. 40 degree days were fairly common in summer, but it's a dry heat. Much more tolerable than a steamy 35 or so. I don’t know how anybody lives in Darwin, for example.
About 20 years ago I worked in an Industrial Laundry in the outer suburbs of Sydney ... during Summer, we'd regularly reach 50-53 degrees c and around 75-80% humidity, regardless of how hard the warehouse air con was working. Regularly, I'd drop about 5-7 kg per shift even though I'd go through 8-10 litres of water per shift. After getting home, I'd pretty much drain another 2-4 litres and scoff as much nutrition as possible. Also, back in the early '90s I participated in a grape harvest near Mildura. 52 was the hottest we worked in (direct sunlight) before 1pm (however, very low humidity thankfully) - after that, EVERYONE would go and soak in the river for a few hours - ended up with a darker tan THROUGH my clothing, more than sunscreen slathered skin (you'd end up with a LOT of snady soil on your skin, which acted like a second layer of sunscreen). It is so very true though - the humidity is the 'killer' aspect of the heat. Give me a dry heat ANY day - at least you feel when it's hot and to hydrate, but when it's hot and humid, you just feel yuck and don't want to do anything - even hydrate.
Worth noting they're not "official temperature records", you know, stevenson screens et al. I agree though. When I went to the Simpson Desert shade temperatures reached 55 C although not with approved meteorological equipment. A two hour 4wd recovery left all of us totally exhausted, even with breaks every 5 to 10 minutes. I used to work maintaining railway track in summer in regional areas. Drinking 6-8 litres of water per shift was fairly normal. You were at risk of leeching out all your electrolytes. This is what sports drinks actually exist for. Air temperatures might be say 43 degrees but the direct sunlight temperature of the rail and ballast might reach 57-58 degrees before we stopped work. Worse if the machinery broke down and we had to clamber amongst the hot mechanical components which could be at 60-70 degrees. The difference between official temperature and apparent temperature in direct sunlight can vary 15 degrees. I remember working with some confined space welders and they were seeing workplace temperatures up to 75 degrees even with extraction fans. Maximum working length in those conditions was less than 15 minutes before a break, even wearing ice vests. By the time they entered the tank, crawled to the worksite and started welding they only get 5 minutes of work done before they had to leave and the next person replaced them.
The humidity is what gets you more than the heat. Me and my 2 dogs that I had lived in Cairns and walking after sunset is the best time up there to walk your dog in Cairns go there if you get the chance it's a dog friendly town and the walk around the esplanade it's a lovely walk with exercise stations about every 200 mitres with water stations for your pup near by most of the equipment and doggy bags are near the garbage bins Port Douglas is nice also very kicked back. Cairns has flying foxes (fruit bats) and they look magnificent flying about at sunset just a bit south is Tully the birthplace of the gumboot or the Wellington boot if you want to call it the sugar cane all up the coast is a sight to see. Go North young Brits go North.
@@garryfrater7536 yeah, crocs love the occasional dumb dog in the morning. I used to be a dog walker but, I got the flick because I was always short of returns. returns.
People are pointing out termperatures of 40+ in Perth but it is a much dryer heat in the southern cities. 37 in Coolum would be very humid and uncomfortable.
Yes I live in South Australia and have experienced many 45C days have also spent time in FNQ(Atherton Tablelands) in Jan/Feb and 35+ and 85% humidity if anything is way more uncomfortable. Either way inside under AC is the way I dealt with it.
@@markmuller2619 I'm a South Aussie too, in the Adelaide hills - 2-4 degrees cooler than 'down on the plains' and always cool in the evening. I love it.
Black Saturday in VIC 2009 and surrounding states was close to 44 degrees+. It was a shocker and so many people died. We have a dry heat down south. Weather during summer is intense.

Kookaburras usually mean it's going to rain... That guy is right U never get used to the heat...walk your dog really early in the morning before the sun comes up... And guys U are crazy doing the Gym on a day in the heat nuts big time even thought it was aircon...U should of been home in the swimming pool do the Aussie thing and buy your dog a floaty so he can swim with you in the pool or a blow up pool thing... Aussie don't go out in the heat unless U really have too... Want are U going to do on Australia Day have Pancakes 🥞 down at the beach...go to a Surf Club...😂❤😂❤
Believe me. Conventional measuring of temps means nothing. A few of us (QLDer's) went to Madrid years ago as part of a European holiday. Allegedly it was 44 degrees Celsius.. We loved it, which we thought the temp was bullshit!! We raced each other 5km drunk, then after drinking more, raced again. "Humidity" is the killer... After visiting other places; we are wiser regarding the measuring of temperatures. We would never do that in QLD summer; unless there was a 'bet on' to see how weight you could lose within an hour. "Just Saying'.
It never gets to that on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane. Ipswich, Amberly, Archerfield & Gatton do get that hot once in a while, but it's only reached 42c three times in Brisbane since 1962. In December 1982 the rail lines buckled and rail services were in chaos. Rather than sit in an unairconditioned platform at Brunswick Street Stn for 2 hours, I caught trains back and forth to Central Station for 90 minutes until my delayed train was ready to depart. The new electric trains had air conditioning.
But without the high humidity. Perth and Adelaide have a Mediterranean climate. Hot dry summers and cold wet winters. It was 40c in Florence and 41c in Lisbon in August 2013. But not unbearable. I find anything over 45c unpleasant. Or lower than -10c. In the same summer it was 18c in Paris, London and Amsterdam. Same 18c in Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm Oslo Bergen in August September 2014. But Greece, south Italy Sicily / south of France and Spain and Portugal can be stinking hot in summer. Luckily the Mediterranean is very refreshing for a dip on such days. They also get the wildfires that Australia gets in summer.
It’s strictly pancakes in oz as far as I’m concerned, ignore the occasional menu that says hotcakes and correct them lol. We’ve had a mild summer in se qld so far imo, but yeah it was a furnace the other day. They say that they’re better dressed down south, and they’re right, just because we can’t stand clothes most of the year in QLD
Because of the humid air 30c will feel like 40c (about 2months of season it can get pretty humid)that's why we live on or close to the coast. coastal areas cool quicker with easterly or southern breeze. Just remember Brisbane and surrounding areas are near perfect weather the rest of the year.
I enjoy your vlogs and am a subscriber, just keep thinking that setting the expectation of a daily vlog is a lot of content to maintain, day after day.
37 is not super hot but pretty normal in this area at this time of year….but other areas of Oz get up into the 40 s but then it doesnt have the humidity
That's right: you don't get used to it. 🥵 I'm in Brisbane. Max temp at my place was 34 degrees but the 'feels like' temp was 44 degrees. The bird call at 10:53 may have been a wattle bird. Stay cool.
Just because you set the aircon for 20.5 does not mean that will EVER be achieved. The compressor will work as hard as it can UNTIL the inlet temperature hits 20.5, and then the compressor will turn off. A domestic unit like yours in a modern brick/glass ground floor unit will probably only reduce the temp. by about 5C. However, it will also reduce the humidity, so the inside will feel a lot cooler than the outside. With an air temp. of 30C, the compressor will work just as hard (rate of temp reduction) with a set temp of 22 or 24 as 20.5. Baby water dragon. Harmless.
Funnel web spiders can survive under water for hours. They often look dead but they're often surviving on a layer of air around their body. Imagine dying of a spider bite while swimming. Sea snakes would be a worse way to go drowning in an ocean 😅
happy australia day Joe and cody . and all the aussies out there . mate ? tuesday here in sydney is going to be 42 degrees . i dont plan on leaving the house and air con . the tar roads and concrete jungles make it feel 3 times hotter , there will be a lot of ppl hanging out at shopping centers i bet ,
Bureau of Meteorology had a 'feels like' temperature of 42c for that 36c because of the humidity. Luckily for Brisbane we had a thunderstorm come through about 7:30 pm which cooled it down to 28c. Small hail and squalls but no damage thankfully. It was 45c in Cairo in June 2016 & 48c in Luxor. I couldn't live in Cairns or Darwin in summer with endless days of high temperatures and humidity. But winters there are great. I would put the aircon at 18c when I got back from sightseeing in Bangkok and put it back to 21c when going to bed.
8:58 we had a whole week of 45 degrees once I think it was 2002? The pool didnt even help it was like swimming in a fresh pot of tea. This was in brisbane
Brisbane’s record temp is 43.2 in 1940, in 2004 Brisbane had 42, I remember that day. It’s very uncommon for Brisbane to get over 38. Not sure about a week of 45!
With the Hot Cakes. The name Hot Cakes has grown in popularity with Cafes since Maccas put them on their Breakfast menu many years ago. Growing up, we called them Pikelets or Flap Jacks but never Pancakes. Pancakes are much larger than Pikelets (Hot Cakes) and usually fluffier as well, unless we're talking about Crepes, of course :)
Even though it's overcast, you need to be wary of sunburn. I live in the west and we've had temperatures of 42°C and high 30's, the other night it was still 30°C at 10pm. I think the word you'd be looking for walking out the gym is walking into a sauna. I lived in Brisbane and Townsville over a 5 year period, soi I know what you're feeling, I don't think I wore a jumper the whole time living in Queensland.
Twilight in Aus is almost nonexistent. My cousin visited once from UK, there was no telling her that it wasn’t a good idea to go for a walk in an unlit area at twilight as it would be dark very soon, she had to experience it for herself. It was a massive shock which kept her mindful of it for the rest of her stay.
36 is pretty tame, it is a pleasent and nice day. When it reaches the mid to high 40's is when NO ONE is found outside as the sun is just too strong and hot. It is not just the heat in Australia, it is also the UV Rating. Always check the UV Rating more than the actual temperature, that is what knocks you down and out. High UV gives the sun a nasty bite that can burn you in mere seconds, no mater what colour of your skin. Darker skin can last a bit longer, but they too burn and go red and start to peel pretty quickly. Ending up with Second Degree and Third Degree burns is quite common in Aus.
I left Australia in 2012 because I couldn't stand the heat. Sydney the humidity was unbearable, Melbourne erratic. One day 35 the next could be 15. I loath the heat. Be very aware of spending too long in the sun, even overcast.
Queensland is way too humid, you always feel sweaty & sticky. I much prefer a dry hot heat over high humidity any day. Even Sydney has become more & more humid now due to climate change.
I never exercise in air conditioning, for one you will never build up heat tolerance and you wont sweat enough. I like to sweat a lot and then that cold beer is so much better afterwards. But heat tolerance is so important, and yes your body does physically adapt.
The smaller lizard was probably a Tommy roundhead. 36°c is getting a bit warm but, not too bad... We've been up around 42°/43°c with 70-80% humidity for the last week or so, 4hr up the road 😂 You reminded me of when I travelled the UK & Europe in 1996, the Brits were complaining about heatwaves, drought & hosepipe bans... I thought it was quite pleasent 32°-36°c 🤔🤣🤣🤣🍺🍻
It’s not only the humidity in Queensland that makes it feel uncomfortable, it’s also the “dew point “, when the dew point is in the mid 20 degrees the temperature starts to feel very oppressive. Just google “ dew point “ if you would like to understand it some more.
I’m mind blown!! What sort of temperatures have you had up until now?? I’ve lost track of how many days we’ve had here in Bendigo this summer that have been 36 or higher! I just expected that with you being so much further north, that you would have had similar or hotter temperatures? (Monday will be 41 here….)
Getting warm at 37c any thing beyond 40c is hot. Worked in a forging factory. Had to do a regular procedure on a furnace, they would let it cool to 750 Celsius. Got fifteen minutes in front of the furnace then you had a break. Dry heat is better. Heat and humidity is not nice.
In northern NSW those hot days in summer mostly always result in a thunderstorm, the highest temp I have been in is 47 degrees in NSW but it was summer and there was a big fire about 20 kms away. I could hardly breathe.
Yeah the humidity in Queensland can make the heat unbearable, but it depends on your constitution. As a Victorian I'd prefer the humidity over the kind of heat that we get down here which is very, very dry. Anything in the high 20s and above you can literally feel the sun stinging your skin if there's no clouds around.
Did u get any of the big storms we've had this week? I'm about 3-4hrs north of u, & we had a biggie last night. A few nights or so ago a bigger one slammed the Wide Bay/Burnett region. Intense heat followed by storms are reasonably common in Qld, though I think this is the hottest summer we've had in a while. Waters are getting warmer & on the news tonight it showed a Saltie (Saltwater Croc) on the beach just south of Bundaberg (Woodgate). This is not Croc territory! At least it was cooler today.. low 30's. Our minimum up here will be about 23 tonight. Definitely not blanket weather LOL. Wait til Feb hits! Feb & March can be the hottest, & u might end up feeling the effects of a cyclone. A trick I've used for years is when it's really hot, put on some light clothes, maybe a sarong, hop under the hose/shower, then walk around in wet clothes. Even a wet towel over the shoulders will do. Natural air con lol. x
We're from Tasmania (similiar climate to England) and I took my young family to Sunshine Coast for our annual holiday last year July, which is winter but was low 20s, we we out for dinner in shorts and tee shirts...the locals thought we were crazy! haha
Lived in NSW, QLD, Vic and Tassie (back in 1978-80), first winter in Taz was a shock!, Heard of Verona sands? Used to have to walk from there to Cgnet Primary in Winter (10 miles each way, sometimes the bus would have pity for me in the mornings), i miss taz, want to go back, it's probably change alot...
Hotcakes started off seeing it here all the time cos of Macca's. They are actually called Pikelets where I grew up in the outback in Queensland, where top temps I worked in were 48 degrees. 36 is an average temp for here in Aus I a lot of areas.
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
36c degrees is warm, but nothing compared to 47c degrees that Australia has experienced during summer. Just wait till February gets here.
Outback sees temperatures exceeding 50. Even places close to the coast like Port Pirie have recorded 48.6, and Penrith (a suburb of Sydney) hit 48.9.
You faced a relatively mild summer day. Nothing to get too distressed about.
The thing you should be distressed about is that the breakfast menu went on to the second column on the page and you might have missed a better option. Lucky the misso saw the hotcakes.
Yep, 36C is the transition between warm and 'a bit on the hot side'. It's nice. Once you get to 40C then that's hot and it's not rare.
@AndyViant yep. Who needs a BBQ here in the summer. Just put a plate to the ground, and it will cook a steak. No problem
36 is hot
Worked 10 days straight on a cattle station (about 200km North-West of Roma, it went from 45-51C, in a basin like area, practically no breeze even at 9pm (cooler, about 35-40 though); Where i live it is usually 35-43C (fair bit cooler ATM YAY, want to move to Taz...).
Hot cakes, being trendy, ordinary Aussies it’s pancakes.

And you're always wet. Love the vlogs guys, sunny coast is one of the best part of Aus (Cairns defs has better reef, rainforst and freshwater swimming holes than anywhere else).

Australian here, 'Hotcakes' is being pretentious and NOT really used in any normal conversation. Its just menu's trying to 'stand out'
They are pancakes. If they say hotcakes they are trying to sound trendy.
For me, humidity feels 10 degrees hotter than the actual temp. In Adelaide, 37 is hot, but on the edge of bearable….in QLd, I can not be outside above about 32 degrees.
I can do about 40 degrees outside under our patio cover in Adelaide. I pop on swim wear and dip in our spa (set to around 32 degrees) then sit with a book under an outdoor ceiling fan (while wet) the temp is perfect all day long for me like this! I just dip in the spa when it gets too hot!

I remember doing 49C a few times in Willcania central NSW....fun......
I live in Geraldton too. It was a very hot day. Hottest day since 1950's that had about 51°c it think it was
Poms get burned watching fireworks 😂
It starts to get uncomfortable when it hits 42c it gets brutal at 47c especially when you have to do out door Manual labour work
You got free water out of the tap. 😂
As a Brisbane local originally from Melbourne, the humidity (or lack of) and the "feels like" temperature are key... a 42° Melbourne day doesn't compare to 32+ in Brisbane (or anywhere with higher humidity) The "feels like" temp is shown of the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) app.
We had temps overnight of 30+C in Perth the last week or so, weather this summer is nuts at the moment. If this is your first summer in Aus, you can whinge your arse off.
Trust me, after a long Brisbane summer, you will be amazed how quickly the temp and humidity drops and winter time you will really feel the cold! The contrast between the seasons is very pronounced when you live in sub tropical south east Queensland.
Further north, even Townsville and Cairns, have cold winters which is absolutely the best time to visit. Living in the tropics, you really enjoy the winters!
pancakes is commonwealth. hotcackes are tourists.
All day breakfasts are the best thing about Aussie cafes :) Also the birdie call is a Little Wattlebird and I think I can hear a Currawong
This is a bit long and pretty old but still relevant and very funny.
August 31
Just got transferred with work from Leeds UK to our new home in Karratha, Western Australia. Now this is a town that knows how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I watched the sunset from a deckchair by our pool yesterday. It was beautiful. I’ve finally found my new home. I love it here.
September 13
Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I’m turning into a sun-worshipper - no blasted rain like back in Leeds!!
September 30
Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me! Another scorcher today, but I love it here. It’s Paradise!
October 10
The temperature hasn’t been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it’s windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit. Acclimatizing is taking longer than we expected.
October 15
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days off work. What a dumb thing to do. Got to respect the old sun in a climate like this!
October 20
Didn’t notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning. By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat shit. I’ve learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.
October 25
This wind is a bastard. It feels like a giant fucking blow dryer. And it’s hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink and the repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs to order parts from fucking Perth ….The wife & the kids are complaining.
October 30
The temperature’s up around 40 and the parts still haven’t arrived for the fucking air conditioner. House is an oven so we’ve all been sleeping outside by the pool for 3 nights now. Bloody $600,000 house and we can’t even go inside. Why the hell did I ever come here?
November 4
Finally got the fucking air-conditioner fixed. It cost $1,500 and gets the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 35. Stupid repairman. Fucking thief.
November 8
If one more smart bastard says ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I’m going to fucking throttle him. Fucking heat! By the time I get to work, the car radiator is boiling over, my fucking clothes are soaking fucking wet and I smell like baked cat. Fucking place is the end of the Earth.
November 9 Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in my car. I thought my fucking arse was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and off my fucking arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
November 10
The Weather report might as well be a fucking recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and fucking sunny. It never fucking changes! It’s been too hot to do anything for 2 fucking months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Fuck!
November 15
Doesn’t it ever rain in this damn fucking place? Water restrictions will be next, so my $5,000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the fucking pool. The only things that thrive in this fucking hell-hole are the fucking flies. You don’t dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the little bastards!
November 20
Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 fuckin’ degrees today. Now the air conditioner’s gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, ‘Hot enough for you today?’ I wanted to shove the fucking car up his fucking arse. Anyway, had to spend the $2,500 mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid prick. Fucking Karratha! What kind of sick, demented fucking idiot would want to live here!
December 1 WHAT!!!! The FIRST day of Summer!!!! You are fucking kidding me!
14:28 Fucking gold ,pissing myself laughing ,the poor bloody cat 😂😂 you sir are a whinging bloody pomm,need to get yourself some floaties before the floods come 😂😂 stay safe mate enjoy
@@brendoncrofts6714this was actually a joke seen this around Facebook a couple of times 😂😂😂😂
Perth's temperatures since last Sunday have been 39 degrees: Monday 44, Tuesday 39, Wednesday 37, Thursday 41, and Friday 33. During summer, Perth experiences many days of 36 degrees.
It's the humidity that gets me, and the fact that my aircon broke down just before this heatwave, my huskies don't like it either 🥵
Its more bearable than Brisbanes humid heatwave tho! 36 with 50% humidity feels like 40+ ! Do we have to always spell it out to Sandgropers?..🤔🤪
@@thrusta100was that for the last week here in Perth area 39°+ with a few days over 44 and 75% humidity. You can keep that shit, I'll stick with the usual dry heat when it comes back haha
If you live in England and you want to know what it is like to walk out of Air Conditioning into the heat - have you ever had your face too close to the oven when you open it? That. And close to the coast the humidity is high so it is like having your face too close to opening microwave popcorn. (Don’t do it intentionally. Steam burns are dangerous). I have experienced 50C once in a demountable classroom in Emerald. Fortunately the grade 12s were finished for the year so we called the office and swapped rooms.
I was thinking that 36°C isn't too bad. At least it's not 40+, but then I remembered where you are... Queensland. The heat plus the humidity is not fun.
You go up the escarpment (West of Ipswich) and to get dry heat
Butterflies like the humidity and they need it for all aspects of their life/development. If you haven't already, there's a cute little butterfly house in Nambour called Butterfly Hill.
Hi ,Mate,I live in Western Sydney and today was a cool 32. Last week we got 41 with a lot more hot weather to come in the next w months. We usually have days 0f 40 to 45 most Summers in the past.so far this year it’s been pretty cool in the Low 30s’.You need to get used to our hot summers if you intend to stay here for a while.Enjoy your trip.
There’s a lot of getting used too for sure haha! We are loving the weather though 🙌
Lived in Liverpool in the early 80's, we'd get 45C average in feb, massive thunderstorm, amount of lightening was scary...
I've only ever seen Macca's calling them "hotcakes".
"Australia, don't be America. McDonalds and Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Coca-Cola."
For me that's a flapjack not a hotcake. But that's semantics since they're basically both just a thicker pancake.
Definitely not a pancake, which are thinner and closer to a crepe.
They're all basically the same but with different thickness and viscosity when poured, although I'm sure someone is offended by that statement.
Hot cakes, like french fries, are examples of the progressive Americanisation of our culture. Until McDonald's spread across the continent (like the red Martian weed in War of the Worlds) we said pancakes and chips. And pancakes were a dessert, served as a special treat, not a breakfast item. The younger generations probably aren't even aware of the American influence. To this day I stubbornly refuse to refer to chips as "fries". And it’s the humidity that you'll find will knock you about the most. We lived at Gunnedah, northern central NSW, many years ago. 40 degree days were fairly common in summer, but it's a dry heat. Much more tolerable than a steamy 35 or so. I don’t know how anybody lives in Darwin, for example.
I've always enjoyed going to Ashes tests in Sydney. Watching sunburnt Poms melt is great entertainment.
Hahahaha!!
Red as Crayfish!!
yep i live in darwin can pick the pom up here lol red raw and midge bites lol , no hat no shirt no spray oh well 😂
About 20 years ago I worked in an Industrial Laundry in the outer suburbs of Sydney ... during Summer, we'd regularly reach 50-53 degrees c and around 75-80% humidity, regardless of how hard the warehouse air con was working. Regularly, I'd drop about 5-7 kg per shift even though I'd go through 8-10 litres of water per shift. After getting home, I'd pretty much drain another 2-4 litres and scoff as much nutrition as possible. Also, back in the early '90s I participated in a grape harvest near Mildura. 52 was the hottest we worked in (direct sunlight) before 1pm (however, very low humidity thankfully) - after that, EVERYONE would go and soak in the river for a few hours - ended up with a darker tan THROUGH my clothing, more than sunscreen slathered skin (you'd end up with a LOT of snady soil on your skin, which acted like a second layer of sunscreen).
It is so very true though - the humidity is the 'killer' aspect of the heat. Give me a dry heat ANY day - at least you feel when it's hot and to hydrate, but when it's hot and humid, you just feel yuck and don't want to do anything - even hydrate.
Worth noting they're not "official temperature records", you know, stevenson screens et al.
I agree though. When I went to the Simpson Desert shade temperatures reached 55 C although not with approved meteorological equipment. A two hour 4wd recovery left all of us totally exhausted, even with breaks every 5 to 10 minutes.
I used to work maintaining railway track in summer in regional areas. Drinking 6-8 litres of water per shift was fairly normal. You were at risk of leeching out all your electrolytes. This is what sports drinks actually exist for. Air temperatures might be say 43 degrees but the direct sunlight temperature of the rail and ballast might reach 57-58 degrees before we stopped work. Worse if the machinery broke down and we had to clamber amongst the hot mechanical components which could be at 60-70 degrees.
The difference between official temperature and apparent temperature in direct sunlight can vary 15 degrees.
I remember working with some confined space welders and they were seeing workplace temperatures up to 75 degrees even with extraction fans. Maximum working length in those conditions was less than 15 minutes before a break, even wearing ice vests. By the time they entered the tank, crawled to the worksite and started welding they only get 5 minutes of work done before they had to leave and the next person replaced them.
The humidity is what gets you more than the heat. Me and my 2 dogs that I had lived in Cairns and walking after sunset is the best time up there to walk your dog in Cairns go there if you get the chance it's a dog friendly town and the walk around the esplanade it's a lovely walk with exercise stations about every 200 mitres with water stations for your pup near by most of the equipment and doggy bags are near the garbage bins Port Douglas is nice also very kicked back. Cairns has flying foxes (fruit bats) and they look magnificent flying about at sunset just a bit south is Tully the birthplace of the gumboot or the Wellington boot if you want to call it the sugar cane all up the coast is a sight to see. Go North young Brits go North.
@@garryfrater7536 yeah, crocs love the occasional dumb dog in the morning. I used to be a dog walker but, I got the flick because I was always short of returns. returns.
That little guy was a baby water dragon , so you were spot on.
People are pointing out termperatures of 40+ in Perth but it is a much dryer heat in the southern cities. 37 in Coolum would be very humid and uncomfortable.
Yes I live in South Australia and have experienced many 45C days have also spent time in FNQ(Atherton Tablelands) in Jan/Feb and 35+ and 85% humidity if anything is way more uncomfortable. Either way inside under AC is the way I dealt with it.
@@markmuller2619 I'm a South Aussie too, in the Adelaide hills - 2-4 degrees cooler than 'down on the plains' and always cool in the evening. I love it.
In Australia all temps aren't even 35degs in Victoria feels cooler then 35 degs in Qld will feel a lot hotter and it's the humidity factor 🔥🔥🔥
Sunshine Coast on Thursday- 36 feels like 40. It's the humidity that's the killer
Black Saturday in VIC 2009 and surrounding states was close to 44 degrees+. It was a shocker and so many people died. We have a dry heat down south. Weather during summer is intense.
4:01 That little lizard is a baby Eastern Water Dragon. (Intellagama lesueurii lesueurii)
They are cool.
You can now say that you've been to the part of the map which says "Here there be dragons"
Kookaburras usually mean it's going to rain...
That guy is right U never get used to the heat...walk your dog really early in the morning before the sun comes up...
And guys U are crazy doing the Gym on a day in the heat nuts big time even thought it was aircon...U should of been home in the swimming pool do the Aussie thing and buy your dog a floaty so he can swim with you in the pool or a blow up pool thing...
Aussie don't go out in the heat unless U really have too...
Want are U going to do on Australia Day have Pancakes 🥞 down at the beach...go to a Surf Club...😂❤😂❤
And exercise; Some ppl love it...
The humidity the last few days here in Perth has been most unpleasant.
Believe me. Conventional measuring of temps means nothing. A few of us (QLDer's) went to Madrid years ago as part of a European holiday. Allegedly it was 44 degrees Celsius.. We loved it, which we thought the temp was bullshit!! We raced each other 5km drunk, then after drinking more, raced again. "Humidity" is the killer... After visiting other places; we are wiser regarding the measuring of temperatures. We would never do that in QLD summer; unless there was a 'bet on' to see how weight you could lose within an hour. "Just Saying'.
36 is nothing, wait till you experience 46.
It never gets to that on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane. Ipswich, Amberly, Archerfield & Gatton do get that hot once in a while, but it's only reached 42c three times in Brisbane since 1962. In December 1982 the rail lines buckled and rail services were in chaos. Rather than sit in an unairconditioned platform at Brunswick Street Stn for 2 hours, I caught trains back and forth to Central Station for 90 minutes until my delayed train was ready to depart. The new electric trains had air conditioning.
Gets to 40+ in Perth.
😂😂😂
But without the high humidity. Perth and Adelaide have a Mediterranean climate. Hot dry summers and cold wet winters. It was 40c in Florence and 41c in Lisbon in August 2013. But not unbearable. I find anything over 45c unpleasant. Or lower than -10c. In the same summer it was 18c in Paris, London and Amsterdam. Same 18c in Berlin, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Stockholm Oslo Bergen in August September 2014. But Greece, south Italy Sicily / south of France and Spain and Portugal can be stinking hot in summer. Luckily the Mediterranean is very refreshing for a dip on such days. They also get the wildfires that Australia gets in summer.
It’s strictly pancakes in oz as far as I’m concerned, ignore the occasional menu that says hotcakes and correct them lol. We’ve had a mild summer in se qld so far imo, but yeah it was a furnace the other day. They say that they’re better dressed down south, and they’re right, just because we can’t stand clothes most of the year in QLD
Because of the humid air 30c will feel like 40c (about 2months of season it can get pretty humid)that's why we live on or close to the coast.
coastal areas cool quicker with easterly or southern breeze. Just remember Brisbane and surrounding areas are near perfect weather the rest of the year.
I enjoy your vlogs and am a subscriber, just keep thinking that setting the expectation of a daily vlog is a lot of content to maintain, day after day.
It is, however we do love vlogging! We’ve got some exciting adventure this weekend coming ❤️
Yep that's a junior dragon. We had those hatch out in the tool shed when I lived in Brisbane. They ate the ants, moths and roaches. Loved em.
37 is not super hot but pretty normal in this area at this time of year….but other areas of Oz get up into the 40 s but then it doesnt have the humidity
That's right: you don't get used to it. 🥵 I'm in Brisbane. Max temp at my place was 34 degrees but the 'feels like' temp was 44 degrees. The bird call at 10:53 may have been a wattle bird. Stay cool.
Just because you set the aircon for 20.5 does not mean that will EVER be achieved. The compressor will work as hard as it can UNTIL the inlet temperature hits 20.5, and then the compressor will turn off. A domestic unit like yours in a modern brick/glass ground floor unit will probably only reduce the temp. by about 5C. However, it will also reduce the humidity, so the inside will feel a lot cooler than the outside. With an air temp. of 30C, the compressor will work just as hard (rate of temp reduction) with a set temp of 22 or 24 as 20.5. Baby water dragon. Harmless.
Funnel web spiders can survive under water for hours. They often look dead but they're often surviving on a layer of air around their body. Imagine dying of a spider bite while swimming. Sea snakes would be a worse way to go drowning in an ocean 😅
happy australia day Joe and cody . and all the aussies out there . mate ? tuesday here in sydney is going to be 42 degrees . i dont plan on leaving the house and air con . the tar roads and concrete jungles make it feel 3 times hotter , there will be a lot of ppl hanging out at shopping centers i bet ,
Thank you! Happy Australia Day to you too 🇦🇺
Bureau of Meteorology had a 'feels like' temperature of 42c for that 36c because of the humidity. Luckily for Brisbane we had a thunderstorm come through about 7:30 pm which cooled it down to 28c. Small hail and squalls but no damage thankfully. It was 45c in Cairo in June 2016 & 48c in Luxor. I couldn't live in Cairns or Darwin in summer with endless days of high temperatures and humidity. But winters there are great. I would put the aircon at 18c when I got back from sightseeing in Bangkok and put it back to 21c when going to bed.
8:58 we had a whole week of 45 degrees once I think it was 2002? The pool didnt even help it was like swimming in a fresh pot of tea. This was in brisbane
Brisbane’s record temp is 43.2 in 1940, in 2004 Brisbane had 42, I remember that day. It’s very uncommon for Brisbane to get over 38. Not sure about a week of 45!
With the Hot Cakes. The name Hot Cakes has grown in popularity with Cafes since Maccas put them on their Breakfast menu many years ago. Growing up, we called them Pikelets or Flap Jacks but never Pancakes. Pancakes are much larger than Pikelets (Hot Cakes) and usually fluffier as well, unless we're talking about Crepes, of course :)
Even though it's overcast, you need to be wary of sunburn. I live in the west and we've had temperatures of 42°C and high 30's, the other night it was still 30°C at 10pm. I think the word you'd be looking for walking out the gym is walking into a sauna. I lived in Brisbane and Townsville over a 5 year period, soi I know what you're feeling, I don't think I wore a jumper the whole time living in Queensland.
Melbourne expecting 42c monday😅, keep cool guys❤
Twilight in Aus is almost nonexistent. My cousin visited once from UK, there was no telling her that it wasn’t a good idea to go for a walk in an unlit area at twilight as it would be dark very soon, she had to experience it for herself. It was a massive shock which kept her mindful of it for the rest of her stay.
36°C... Is NOT Hot... in an Australian Summer...
No it isn't but when you add in the humidity it ain't pleasant!
Yes it is. Don't be knob. Just because the temperature can get into the 40s doesn't make 36 degs not hot.
I’m surprised no yank has chimed in with their 120 degree Arizona or Louisiana BS. 🙂🍻
Yeah or ' Death Valley'😅
36 is pretty tame, it is a pleasent and nice day.
When it reaches the mid to high 40's is when NO ONE is found outside as the sun is just too strong and hot.
It is not just the heat in Australia, it is also the UV Rating.
Always check the UV Rating more than the actual temperature, that is what knocks you down and out.
High UV gives the sun a nasty bite that can burn you in mere seconds, no mater what colour of your skin. Darker skin can last a bit longer, but they too burn and go red and start to peel pretty quickly. Ending up with Second Degree and Third Degree burns is quite common in Aus.
I left Australia in 2012 because I couldn't stand the heat. Sydney the humidity was unbearable, Melbourne erratic. One day 35 the next could be 15. I loath the heat. Be very aware of spending too long in the sun, even overcast.
Brisbane's highest recorded temperature is 43.2 on Australia day 1940.
37° hot? You're not even in the tropics with the real humidity. 37° some may say is reasonably mild I guess.
Why do you have bottled water?
Why do you have sunnies?
Queensland is way too humid, you always feel sweaty & sticky. I much prefer a dry hot heat over high humidity any day. Even Sydney has become more & more humid now due to climate change.
That's why I left Brisbane for Canberra 47 years ago! Best thing I ever did 😊
Being from Melbourne, I have always found Sydney to be too humid in the Summer.
We are expecting 41C here in Melbourne on Monday. Followed by a cool change.
Of course there will be a cool change… it’s Melbourne. Monday - 41°, Tuesday - 22°!
@ and I will be very glad of the cool change. 41 is hotter than I like.
I never exercise in air conditioning, for one you will never build up heat tolerance and you wont sweat enough. I like to sweat a lot and then that cold beer is so much better afterwards. But heat tolerance is so important, and yes your body does physically adapt.
The smaller lizard was probably a Tommy roundhead. 36°c is getting a bit warm but, not too bad...
We've been up around 42°/43°c with 70-80% humidity for the last week or so, 4hr up the road 😂
You reminded me of when I travelled the UK & Europe in 1996, the Brits were complaining about heatwaves, drought & hosepipe bans... I thought it was quite pleasent 32°-36°c 🤔🤣🤣🤣🍺🍻
The little lizard is a skink.
It’s not only the humidity in Queensland that makes it feel uncomfortable, it’s also the “dew point “, when the dew point is in the mid 20 degrees the temperature starts to feel very oppressive. Just google “ dew point “ if you would like to understand it some more.
Yeah it's warm alright, but it's not the heat that's the killer, it's the humidity.
That’s right it sure is!
It's the humidity that really makes it feel so hot, but wait till it hits 42!
49.3 last week, I never take my dog out once the temp gets near 30, if you can't walk in bare feet on the footpath either can your dog
It's 43 C for me in regional Victoria tomorrow and that's still not even near the highest. Australian temperatures do get pretty high.
We've had a series of 40 plus days here in Perth.
I’m mind blown!! What sort of temperatures have you had up until now?? I’ve lost track of how many days we’ve had here in Bendigo this summer that have been 36 or higher! I just expected that with you being so much further north, that you would have had similar or hotter temperatures? (Monday will be 41 here….)
I say pancakes, & don't forget yr dogs paws get hot too in severe days. Enjoy ❤
42 in Melbourne on Monday.
Gheeez!
We had several days of 35c plus here in Cairns. It’s 33c today which is the pretty average temperature here🌞
Live in a place then hit 43-45, but drops to 0-10C winter, at least it's a dry heat here ;D
As a rule, always note the 'feels like' temperature and humidity. They give a better indication of what you'll face.
That’s very true 🙌
Getting warm at 37c any thing beyond 40c is hot. Worked in a forging factory. Had to do a regular procedure on a furnace, they would let it cool to 750 Celsius. Got fifteen minutes in front of the furnace then you had a break. Dry heat is better. Heat and humidity is not nice.
It goes dark quickly in the tropics. Here in Tassie it’s still daylight after 9 pm. Long twilights, like the UK)
Same, near Canberra
I miss Tassie, wish we had stayed (Verona Sands, Cygnet, Hounville and Bridgewater (1978-1980).
Here in Broken Hill Australia Day it's gona be 44 in the shade 😊
In northern NSW those hot days in summer mostly always result in a thunderstorm, the highest temp I have been in is 47 degrees in NSW but it was summer and there was a big fire about 20 kms away. I could hardly breathe.
It’s not the temperature in Queensland, it’s the humidity that kills lol.
20 to 21 degrees is a perfect temperature will use that on our home
Agreed.
Humidity is one thing. Dew point is where the action is. Above 20 dew point becomes uncomfortable. Above 23 it’s really uncomfortable.
Yeah the humidity in Queensland can make the heat unbearable, but it depends on your constitution. As a Victorian I'd prefer the humidity over the kind of heat that we get down here which is very, very dry. Anything in the high 20s and above you can literally feel the sun stinging your skin if there's no clouds around.
36C is a standard eastern states summer. Now try a 45C-50C north/northwestern Australian summer at %100 humidity.
They’re only being trendy, in Australia they’re pancakes!
It was 44C here in Perth a fee days ago 36C isn't too bad
that bird....maybe baby rainbow lorrikeet!....they sound like squeaky wheels!
36⁰ with humidity is an uncomfortable day. Once it gets to 40⁰+ it's horrendous
The size of that piece of halumi!!! Yum!!
Wednesday was the hottest day on the Gold Coast in 10 years, I jumped in the car and it was reading 40 degrees 😅
Use Fahrenheit when measuring air temperature, and Celsius when measuring the temperature of water.
So the air temperature will be 96.8°f
Did u get any of the big storms we've had this week? I'm about 3-4hrs north of u, & we had a biggie last night. A few nights or so ago a bigger one slammed the Wide Bay/Burnett region. Intense heat followed by storms are reasonably common in Qld, though I think this is the hottest summer we've had in a while. Waters are getting warmer & on the news tonight it showed a Saltie (Saltwater Croc) on the beach just south of Bundaberg (Woodgate). This is not Croc territory!
At least it was cooler today.. low 30's. Our minimum up here will be about 23 tonight. Definitely not blanket weather LOL. Wait til Feb hits! Feb & March can be the hottest, & u might end up feeling the effects of a cyclone.
A trick I've used for years is when it's really hot, put on some light clothes, maybe a sarong, hop under the hose/shower, then walk around in wet clothes. Even a wet towel over the shoulders will do. Natural air con lol. x
February is summer. 36c is starting to get hot.
My immediate thought .. there will be a fair few people saying essentially.. 36c hot? .. you're dreaming
hi from Mungindi top was 40 @ 20% Humidty its 20:10 (8:10 pm ) and it still 34. Last week was on a work site abd it hit 47 by 1300 in the shed
Why buying water we have great tap water.
We're from Tasmania (similiar climate to England) and I took my young family to Sunshine Coast for our annual holiday last year July, which is winter but was low 20s, we we out for dinner in shorts and tee shirts...the locals thought we were crazy! haha
Lived in NSW, QLD, Vic and Tassie (back in 1978-80), first winter in Taz was a shock!, Heard of Verona sands? Used to have to walk from there to Cgnet Primary in Winter (10 miles each way, sometimes the bus would have pity for me in the mornings), i miss taz, want to go back, it's probably change alot...
Hotcakes started off seeing it here all the time cos of Macca's. They are actually called Pikelets where I grew up in the outback in Queensland, where top temps I worked in were 48 degrees. 36 is an average temp for here in Aus I a lot of areas.
