The Perth Thread - Part 4

As hot as Satan's arseh*le for four consecutive days is not 'decent'.

 

[ioppolo]

People's resilience to hot weather seems to be waning each summer. It was 40 degrees plus for 13 days of summer three seasons ago, a few days of mid/high 30s isn't Satan's arseh*le.

Agree to disagree.

I can deal with it because I have an air-conditioned car to take me to an air-conditioned office and a pool to cool down in. But no one is taking their dog for a walk in 40 degree heat or taking a pleasant stroll or voluntarily working outdoors. It's manageable but it's gross.

Hot is relative.

Doing manual labour outside in the middle of the day when it's 40 degrees sucks but then that sucks when it's 30 or 35 or raining and most people don't do it anyway.

Was 34 degrees in my car about 3pm yesterday then when I went out and watered the lawn around 6 it was magic. Opened the windows and let the breeze through the house. The way some people carry on you'd think it was so inhospitable the only option was to be inside with the air con set to 18 the whole day. We've got minimums in the teens or low 20s coming up. People need to calm down.

Hot enough for ya?

 

[Plugger35]

It didn't take long to get our first heatwave of the summer but at least it will cool down on the weekend with temps in the 20s.

 

[Beerfish]

Yep. Gorgeous weather.

 

[Scotland]

Yep. Gorgeous weather.

Just popped out for 10 minutes to get some lunch.

I feel alive.

I wouldn't call temperatures of 30 degrees at midnight gorgeous, the hot days aren't so bad it's the hot nights that are the killer.

It was 24 at midnight last night and 20 the night before.

The hottest minimum excluding today which obviously hasn't finished is 20.5. Which is pleasant.

I'm pretty sure it was hotter than 24 at midnight last night but even 24 is still too warm for that time of night.

The minimums for today and tomorrow are 23 which won't occur at midnight, they usually occur early in the morning like 4am.

Well tonight has been fun, another warm night in Perth and our area has had a power outage from about 6pm to 9.30pm.

Ours was until 12.30am - weirdly everything worked except the lights

I’ve not experienced that sort of outage before

We get them all the time out country, it's pretty obvious that the infrastructure has been let go over the more recent years because it never used to happen.

Well ours is about to get an update because we recently received a bill for 5,200 so that underground power can be installed - 3k of that is to connect it to the house

That sounds more like something to do with your RCD box ?
Power out is power out
