Hot and getting hotter

Tweet

It’s been a scorcher here today and tomorrow is going to be worse. At 4.00pm, it’s 37C (100F) and tomorrow is supposed to be worse and with the risk of thunderstorms. This is our first week of such high temperatures. Yesterday there was several bushfires and the fire bombers (planes) were recalled to base when some idiot put up a drone. The planes won’t operate if there is a drone in the air. An open day at Government House was cancelled and the food donated to charities. At least it wasn’t wasted. We have a barbecue area in the village just across an interior street from us. There was a community barbecue planned for 2.00pm but it’s now been put back to 4.00pm because of the heat. The barbecue is gas but it’s still too hot to be sitting out in the sun. The photo shows the barbecue area.
