I thought it was hot as hell here in Chatswood this morning at 9am this morning, but it turns out we didn't even have a really hot day.. Tomorrow.. it's supposed to get to 41 degrees, so I'm going to hybernate in my air conditioned home ALL DAY tomorrow.

by **kipper** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 8:38 pm

Steve, noway do I consider it nice weather. Although I'm regretting going out early this morning to do some photography. At 6-7am it would of been perfect for birds. I prefer temps around 20-30degC usually low 20s are good for me.

by **Onyx** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 8:49 pm

Yeah, who turned on the heater today?!

Not more than 10 minutes after taking a shower I'm sweating already...

by **MattC** on Sat Dec 31, 2005 9:00 pm

Beautiful weather.

TC has had temps in the 40's for the past few weeks and occasional storms. I will have heat over cold anyday. Darwin is probably in the 40's and afternoon thunderstorms to really throw a hot wet blanket over things. I enjoy that even more.

Cheers

still sweating..............

Twas a beautiful day today in Sydney on the harbour. But i'm not looking forward to tomorrow. Still, it's better than some places i've been where 40 degrees would be a nice cool change.

by **kipper** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 1:46 am

MattC if you find this enjoyable you need to go see a shrink.

by **MattC** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 8:42 am

Aha, maybe so, but I prefer hot to cold

Cheers

I prefer the heat of the Nevada Dessert than a hot day in sydney. The worse part of our heat is the humidity. Dry heat is easier to manage.

I used to say the same thing when living in Calgary, but about the cold - "At least it is a dry -40C"

Whichever way you look at it, 40C is bloody hot :lol:

But who's complaining, it's only 37C here :shock:

Time for the beach.

Have a good one,

Most of the time I work from home I have to remember when you run for the phone and people ask "I'm sorry are you busy?"

NEVER SAY " no I was just out in the swimming pool"

It is a cool 30o here much better than the last few days

gotta go hit the pool again

What are y'all complaining about?

It's very pleasant here in San Francisco. Coolish - we had soim e rain in Carmel and Monterey, but overal it's been very temperate.

Prepare your Personal Floating Device and sail home via the Pacific Ocean with the storm and flooding there :lol:

Yeah its a mild sunny day in Beecroft.....

True dat! A celcius to farenheit conversion of today's top temps - 44 degrees celcius reported across Sydney only translates into a puny 110 farenheit. I've been in the south west United States where the temprature exceeded 130 degrees farenheit and it felt more comfortable.

Bring on global warming I say.

Indeed.

We were intending to head into the Napa, but the weather forecasts suggested - correctlyt, as it happens - that that was not a good idea.

We went to Santa Cruz and Monterey instead.

You haven't gone to bed yet!
Enjoy your trip by heading South!

One or two days of heat does not count and Marvin you should know better, when we were living in Woomera the bitumen used to melt after a week of plus 40 degrees temps and the nights did not go below 30 and it got to 47!

by **Nnnnsic** on Sun Jan 01, 2006 11:11 pm

Screw it.

I'm staying inside tomorrow and writing a bloody screenplay while drinking lots of ice cold drinks.

The weather has a cool breeze at the moment but it's still bloody humid.

Move up to Boat Harbour! you'll find a surprise and pleasant weather.

It was hot and humidity here also, but the water is just around the corner! :wink:

got few fresh live local cray fishes right in Boat Harbour, they were put on on the bbq with garlic & tamarin sauce and cold beers in hand, ain't bad!!!!!!!!

by **sirhc55** on Mon Jan 02, 2006 11:04 am

From my Weather channel experience yesterday (Sunday), humidity was only 17% :roll:

Keep in mind that heat makes you bloom (women), perspire (men) and sweat (horses) and a lot of people confuse this with humidity

by **nito** on Mon Jan 02, 2006 11:37 am

Well we all survived yesterday's heat. The cool change was welcomed at night.

Hmmmm. Sirhc55 has a point. May be I sweat less in the northern hemisphere than the southern. :shock:

by **Killakoala** on Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:40 pm

Surely you sweat at the same rate regardless of the humidity. You just notice it more in high humidity as it takes so much longer to evaporate, or if it's 100% then it doesn't evaporate at all. Having been a baker in Far North QLD i have experienced this in the wee small hours of the morning when humidty peaks. It's really good for making bread rise though
