We must live in the same neck of the woods.
All I can say, is thank fish it wasn't 5 hours earlier!

Western Power on their game - power restored 4hrs ahead of schedule

Grids must of been well and truly working overtime today

 

[Plugger35]

No power outage where I live, it could be our turn next though.

 

[gaskin]

I'm surprised we didn't lose power since we always do.

 

[Beerfish]

My phone says it's 32 right now. I might sleep in the pool.

 

[Plugger35]

At least it is cooling down tomorrow with 38 forecast followed by 37 on Monday and then back up to 39 on Tuesday.

It's cooling down properly after that though thank god.

 

[Beerfish]

Don't get me wrong I am loving it.

Can I join?

Our homes are not built for this - no triple glazing etc or remarkable insulation.
Even the cockroaches are clamoring to get inside from the heat.
House bricks feel like a furnace to touch
God only knows why Im trying to grow English Roses in this climate.
AC Evap is struggling.

31c here at gone 11pm
My AC is going to blow up - I won't turn it off until Thursday when it gets below 20c

The wind has swung back to an east south easterly at the moment, back to almost 30 degrees presently. It ended up at 40.7 degrees on Saturday, Gingin got to 43 degrees while Pearce finished at 42 degrees.

Marble Bar had 47.7 degrees on Saturday, that's their 26th consecutive day of 43 degrees or more. They also had 49.3 degrees on 30 December 2023 while Roebourne had 49.5 degrees on 31 December 2023. That's the equal second highest temperature ever recorded in Australia during December.

Perth had has 7mm of rain since 4 October 2023. December 2023 saw no rainfall.

As much as I love summer, I don't miss that relentless heat of the Pilbara at all. Its been pretty brutal this summer up there. Just checked and its a rather chilly 35 at Marble Bar currently.

Today felt worse than yesterday.
Humidity feels very similar to when I lived in Brisbane.

Deepest sympathies to those of you in the areas affected by the power blackout, it must be absolutely horrendous.

Still, no matter what public officials and self-interested parties say, don't let them use it as a reason to try and con people into letting them sell off Western Power.

Looks like the Wizard of Schnoz is joining the liberal party.

 

[RookiePick]

Surely the Libs accept they are at rock bottom at this points

What does that say for Perth who elected him as Lord Mayor?

 

[Off The Couch]

What does that say for Perth who elected him as Lord Mayor?

You mean the likes of Gina and Twiggy

Residents don’t hold sway there

 

[Madas]

What does that say for Perth who elected him as Lord Mayor?

That whoever voted for him had NFI

 

[Billy ray]

How long is the Lord Mayoral term? 3 years?
I presume he would start in April 2025 if he heads into State Parliament. So yeh, to jump ship 1 year into 3 year term is bad form.

I don't think I've met anyone in Perth, under retirement age, who says they have ever voted in a local government election.

Hi.

 

[TheEscapeClub]

I don't think I've met anyone in Perth, under retirement age, who says they have ever voted in a local government election.

Just like no-one voted for Mr 91% after the fact.

 

[Eaglette01]

Wonder if WAPOL will ever find Craig Puddy ?
His poor family
Terrible case

2 days after it was rumoured, the Wizard of Schnoz will challenge for a state spot.
