Not quite as hot up north.
All records are being broken and the heat wave is also about to break with the much anticipated Monsoon finally arriving in tropical northern Australia. Fair chance that now we will cop a cyclonic season that will see cyclones head further south due to the warmer land and sea mass.
Not that I am willing it...but it sure reminds me of my youth when the conditions were identical. Many a cyclone came down our way.Something to keep a keen eye on whilst praying for a reprieve.

Shavua tov to a cool change.

got it! :)
p.s. Last year we reached 108 F. I told people that I had been mowing my lawn and the clouds would move and it would feel like I stepped into a furnace. They retorted, "Well it was only that hot in the sun."
I said, "Where did you think I was mowing my lawn? In my living room?!" Geeeez... :0

I live in Arizona. 115F is nothing special for us. Stay out of the sun. Drinks lots and lots of water and you willbe fine.

Love your sense of humour, Leah.
And, yes we spell humour with a "u" in Oz. Must be the sun stroke :-)
