It's still only Spring - the equivalent to mid-May in the northern hemisphere, but things are hotting up. Armidale, whose average maximum summer temperature is about 26degrees C, has recorded 15.00 temperatures for the last three days of 30.6, 33.1 and 31.5.
Well, if it's hot here it's diabolical elsewhere. A mate of mine is researching near Windorah in SW Queensland and that was 44C a short while ago. Longreach, which I visited a few months ago, was cooler at a mere 42C. Narrabri, which I visit quite regularly in my Cotton industry research was cooler still at 40C. And Canberra was a mere 29C.
There is an upside to all this. Meteorologists explain that hot early summer leads to very wet summer after the New Year, especially about north from here.
