    Default Are we hot yet?

    Here's an interesting graph.

    Daily Max and Mins for Perth (and Marble bar Max) for the first 14 days of Dec.
    Grey line is long term Perth Average daily Max, yellow is average Daily min.

    So far we are ~6.5ºC above average daily max, and thankfully only 2.2ºC above average daily min.
    Today we have max forecast of 40ºC

    Mid blue line is daily max for Marble Bar - for those that don't know MB has the honour of being in the Guinness book of world records for the most consecutive days of 100 °F (37.8 °C) or above, during a period of 160 days from 31 October 1923 to 7 April 1924. The last time its daily max was below 100F was on Nov 3.

    Just to make things interesting the doc has doubled my dosage of my meds that make me sensitive to sunlight and heat.
    I'm trying to get around this by walking the dogs at 4:30-5 am - can't do anything outside or I start to feel crook - feel like I have heat/sun stroke.

    Good old Marble Bar, I've had a few coldies in the "Ironclad" over the years.
    Attended the centenary of the dedication of the memorial to WW1 diggers at Brookhampton yesterday. 40+ C but there is a close to 100 year old English oak we congregated under and it was markedly cooler in its shade. I wish I'd asked one of the tech' savvy youngsters to do a temp' comparison with their phone (can such a thing be done?) The Brookhampton Bellringers treated us to a few beautiful tunes.
    Cheers,
    Geoff.

    Finally we're also starting to get some smoke from the Yanchep fires.

    Nothing like Sydney though this morning PM2.5 at my place is ~ 25 µg/m^3 (usually its about 10)

    It was already 38 here at 9:30 on the way to a projected max of 41. It's been hot but the typical brisbane humidity has been down, unfortunately along with rainfall.

    It's not just the shade that trees provide. As they're transpiring water vapour from their leaves, they are taking energy in the form of heat from the air around then, on the same principle as the Coolgardie safe.

    Accumulation was about half of what was predicted. It's still -2C.
