This morning the front pages of all our SA newspapers are the reports on Yesterday's temperature reaching record HIGH'S of 44,6?C and today might be a 43,7?C kind of day with our minimum temperatures at 23,6?C . . . we are melting!!
THIS IS 112,7?F !!
In a country like ours, where the rainfall is needed to sustain the wild life and the farm crops, it is tragic to see the sun beating down on the land and having no remorse.
RAIN is needed, please send us your unwanted rain . . . any which way you can!
There are the tips on how to protect yourself in these warming conditions:
*Postpone all intense sporting sessions (so no bowling for me today)
*Head for indoors over the time zones of 11h00 till 15h00.
*Drink small portions of water throughout the day. Keep Hydrated.
*Wear loose fitting clothing, sunglasses and extra UV protection cream.
*Do not leave small children, dogs and old people in any vehicle - NOT even for a minute!
Have you had hot days like this?
we are into our 4th for the week but hopefully someone in Ireland, or London, or USA will blow us some rain!

Good morning Katerina - its been too long since I said morning to you - The heat has subsided to a low 38*C the last two days with winds blowing clouds all over the show - but no rain for us in our area. Too many sinners as my daughter says

I will do my best to send you some rain. I can't even imagine that kind of heat.

There is an abundance here you are more than welcome to our share. Barry likes to keep most of the rain up there so I doubt he will send you his share. He needs it for his webbed feet and feather coat.

I'd be happy to trade my rainy day for some of your sun. It's been miserable lately and we've had too much rain compared to your too little. Seems as if the world is either getting too much or not enough lately

No wonder you are melting. It is very difficult to stay cool under such conditions. Have you seen those things you can put round your neck that are supposed to cool you off? Maybe they go in the fridge for a while first but they are supposed to help.
