Normally these +40c days have happened a fair bit later in the summer. To experience 43c on the road in Melbourne today so early feels ominous for what's to come.
This is not doing any good for the fire situation either.
I'm amazed by the fact that we're still allowing new coal projects to go up.
That’s hot but normal for Sydney.
A few +40C days in high summer (late Jan/early Feb) are not that unusual, but days of consistent +40C days in mid-December should be sending alarm bells ringing. This is the new `normal', but wasn't like this before a few years ago.
Yeah, just hit 46c at our place north of Melbourne CBD... Crazy times.
