DSTM Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Trying to get through a humid 44c 111.2 Fahrenheit day here. Outside is a furnace. Garden plants are drooping. Huge Passion Fruit vine doesn't look good at all. Had to go outside for 15 mins. That was enough.

DSTM Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 I hope it's only one day,Rusty. Just checked the temp. Still rising. My Air-Con is struggling at the moment.

Rachel Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Wish I could send you some of what I am having DSTM - it's been hanging around -30 Celsius here, just warmed up to -15 Celsius this evening. 1 Quote
DSTM Posted January 13, 2017 Author Posted January 13, 2017 OMG! Rachel, that's cold. We seem to be enduring the opposite ends of the spectrum. I would love a bag of ice, right at this moment.

FPCH Admin AWS Posted January 13, 2017 FPCH Admin Posted January 13, 2017 That's hot. This winter here is mild compared to the last few. In fact we had thunderstorms last night. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
FPCH Staff Tony D Posted January 13, 2017 FPCH Staff Posted January 13, 2017 44C -30 C Both are ridiculous. Quote
plodr Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 We enjoyed a day in my part of Pennsylvania yesterday that tied a record from 1913. It was 61° F/16°C. It was something to look forward to in the dead of winter here. I'm too old anymore to deal well with extremes in temperature. 1 Quote

The older I get, I find I can't cope with the heat like I did when I was young. Didn't bother me at all then. Also was the hottest night I can ever remember. 10.30pm, it was 37c 2.20am it was 32.2c Today won't be as bad. Forecast 39c.

It was something to look forward to in the dead of winter here. I'm too old anymore to deal well with extremes in temperature. I couldn't believe the weather on Thursday. It was like a beautiful spring day at 61 degrees. Now we are back to the bitter cold and waiting on more snow. Stay cool, Dougie. That's some wicked heat you have going on there.

DSTM Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 Another hot one today. 43c now and still 2 hrs from the hottest time of the day. EDIT. Reached 45c. That's dam hot. I am feeling it more as I get older.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted January 18, 2017 FPCH Staff Posted January 18, 2017 That's 113 F. I've never seen it that how around here. It gets to 100 F now and then, but that's about as high as it gets. Even at that temperature, it's too damm hot. Quote
DSTM Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 It was only 1.8c below the hottest day ever recorded where I live, Tony. Thankfully I stayed inside most of the day in air-con. Only had to go out for 20mins. Was like sticking your head in a hot oven. The air was so hot to breathe. Hope we don't get too many more like that one.

DSTM Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 Just have to, Cindy. No alternative. About three weeks left of Summer and hope for cooler temps. Day after day of 40c+ temps are very draining. My AIR-CON has been screaming 24/7 for some weeks now trying to cope.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted February 11, 2017 FPCH Staff Posted February 11, 2017 You know we're sitting in the cold in Pennsylvania, USA. Dougie, I mentioned your posting on the computer show this morning. What a contrast to what we're seeing. Quote
DSTM Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 Yes Tony. Complete ends of the spectrum. How hot does it get where you live in summer? Tony. Guess you would have some very hot days as well.

FPCH Staff Tony D Posted February 11, 2017 FPCH Staff Posted February 11, 2017 Summers here run in the upper 80s (F). When it's over 90 F for 3 consecutive days, it's called a heat wave. We typically get 4-6 of them during the summer. It gets to 100 F at times, but not often. It's the humidity that's really nasty. Quote
plodr Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Crikey, those are Northern Queensland temps! In the 70's I went on a camping trip across the Nullarbor with a group of school girls. I didn't teach at North Sydney Girls but one of my friends did and allowed a few of us teaching at other high schools to come along as chaperones. One day we went to see a gold mine. The temps were about 43.9°. That was the hottest I think I've ever been. You have my sympathy! The hottest day here was July 22 2011. It was 105° in my part of PA. (central eastern) It was so hot, we get the humidity along with it too, that it was even hard to breathe. Edited February 11, 2017 by plodr Quote
DSTM Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 The humidity is shocking here as well,plodr. No wonder the people of Coober Pedy went underground.

plodr Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 I spent a night in Coober Pedy on a different camping trip through Alice Springs and up to Darwin. (That trip was in June or July so we had "winter" temps). Quote
