Nice hot summer here, but today's been something else. Hottest ever day in Hobart - 41.8C Fecking hell. Air conditioner running on overload. Fell sorry for the 60 or so firecrews out and about all over the place fighting bushfires.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925439#msg-925439Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:39:47 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925593#msg-925593 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925593#msg-925593

Midnight now and still 30C!]]> Andrew NoticeboardFri, 04 Jan 2013 23:52:15 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925463#msg-925463 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925463#msg-925463
Would you prefer to live in Wick with these temperatures? :-o

Before searching for those stats, I was going to guess that our average summer temperature would be around 18c, but we're not even getting that. And it's no surprise to learn from those stats that it rains nearly every feckin day of every feckin month :(]]> Coco NoticeboardFri, 04 Jan 2013 22:32:23 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925449#msg-925449 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925449#msg-925449
Still a ways from here, but a bad day for the state.]]> Andrew NoticeboardFri, 04 Jan 2013 21:00:40 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925447#msg-925447 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925447#msg-925447
Hey if we mixed the two extremes together we'd have a dam fine day lol.

It's much easier to get warm than to cool off. You can only strip so far.]]> Scott Watson NoticeboardFri, 04 Jan 2013 20:57:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925445#msg-925445 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925445#msg-925445Cheers

Seriously though - today has just highlighted what great hands we're in when it comes to government.

You'll remember the devastation a few years ago in Melbourne/Victoria - that day we had >48C and 100kmh winds. Today we had around 42C and windy so it was the first big fire risk day of the summer.

After tens/hundreds of millions of dollars of enquiries and supposed action , you'd think we'd see some results - yes??

The mobile phone app they'd promoted crashed and was showing cities miles from where they actually are on the map and the CFA website was down all day. Like many in my area the first thing I did this morning was try to check the fire map and didn't manage to see anything all day.

I feel so safe! It's pretty much a case of get out every time it's a hot day.

I hope nobody in your circle of friends/family was affected today -I understand some property has been lost in Tassie. We've been lucky in Victoria today so far but it's only days until we get another dose of these conditions.]]> the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardFri, 04 Jan 2013 18:03:51 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925439#msg-925439 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,925439,925439#msg-925439
