Adelaide is in the middle of a December record heat wave with four days over 40c

and Sydney has been hit with a tornado. Climate change skeptics take note.....

And we in the north have sweltered through one of the hottest build ups on record. We finally have the monsoon on the way, last couple of days have been beautiful, 30 deg with rain

Melbourne is trying to keep up with Adelaide. Lagging a bit behind. Not 40 till Saturday

Not an unfamiliar position for Melbourne to be in, lagging behind. I think the y2k bug alert came out last week

Its still the most liveable city though.

Just looking at our local weather and the hottest day for Dec on recorded for Peterborough was back in 1972 @ 41.5C on the 21st so high temps for this time of the year are not that unusual. Yesterday we only got 39.5C. Won't know what our max for today is until tomorrow.

I was speaking to a colleague in Adelaiee yesterday, and he said they were having a heat wave. So I asked him if it had got to 21 °C.

Yes but where you are it's like that all year around.

Just had a phonecall from my mate Darren, who lives in Melbourne. (He owns the house next door to my flat, which I keep an eye on for him)
Darren was complaining of the erk heat in Melbourne today, and asked me to pop on the aircon in his house to cool it down before he drives over this arvo. I assured him that the aircon is not yet needed today.

..and today, 8am.

Clear sky, bright sunshine, currently 18 degrees here, with a top of 31 expected.

Aussieboy · « **Reply #24 on:** December 19, 2015, 09:09:32 AM »

Only going to 42 in the Barossa today, glad I'm not in Adelaide with 44 expected. Having family BBQ so just wheel BBQ out into sun and use solar heat to cook, how could anything be better. Currently 36 (0930) so hope it warms up soon. Gotta feel sorry for those in the cold areas.
