Weather where you are?

It is a bit toasty in the Dandenong Ranges Today, there is a massive fire about 40k's away which has consumed many 100's if not 1,000's of acres. We have spent the day inside keeping an eye on the emergency websites... another hot one tomorrow, let's hope the firefighters are all safe and we don't loose any lives to this fire..

I found this image on FB, showing the cloud formed by the updraft of the intense heat!

Been surfing a bit lately, water is like a warm bath, cant remember it being this warm before and is reported to be 26.1 degrees c.
Thats unheard of, usually gets to about 23 degrees, and the previous maximum was 25.3
Makes fo a nice surf but.
 
41 in Adelaide yesterday, nasty fire started at 05:30 in the Adelaide Hills (Cherryville) yesterday morning but knocked down quick smart by a very fast and overwhelming response by the local CFS crews. (congrats)
 
20mm of rain in the Adelaide Hills over the last 48 hours; doubled our total rainfall for the year so far!
 
Scraping and washing ice off the skoda windows at 8 this morning ... immediately refroze the water! Hit it with some warm after that. Cold orright. I'll be cycling in it on my morning (bicycle) rides.

Working in the shed last night till midnight - metal stuff gets really cold!

Coming for xmas in Norway this year?
 
Was 22 C when I left the house at 05:45, now somewhere around 27 C.
Supposed to be in the region of 32 C by noon and peak out to 40 C tomorrow.
Looking forward to a nice evening blast on the SF  :D

Englishman abroad... Saw 45 degrees on the cars temp indicator today. Near Stuttgart in Germanski. It felt like being inside Romell's jock strap, during his Afrika Corps days. That temp was after driving a mile. I thought it would drop after being parked up, but it didn't. Who knows how accurate the car's doofer is, but walking out of the a/con office at 5pm was like walking into a solid wall of heat. I can't recall being so damn hot. German beer is respite - sehr kalt.  Global warming? I believe, I believe.
 
Being unused to such temperatures, full sun protection was used Piet. i take such things seriously. The knotted hankie head wear was immediately deployed, without risky delay. An Englishman abroad has to maintain decorum and UV protection in these extreme conditions.  ;)
 
My car has inside and outside temp sensors. I've calibrated them with a good quality glass thermometer and they're quite accurate.

With my car being a dark green colour, it absorbs solar radiation pretty well. Not a bad thing in winter when it's cold outside. But in Summer I regularly see temperatures over 40 deg inside the car after it's been parked in the sun for a while. And I live in a temperate climate here in Tasmania. We don't see many days above 30 deg in summer. Highest temp I've seen inside the car was 51. That's a typical sauna temperature.
 
32c in Thailand today. Heading for Bangkok where it?s 33c and 86% humidity..... nice.

Can?t say I?m looking forward to returning to Australia?s winter after 6-7 weeks of summer type weather.
 
28?C when I left the house at 5:45. They showed salt being cast onto the streets in Arnhem, Netherlands in the news yesterday evening. Supposedly to prevent the streets from heating up to much. Something I'd never heard of before.
