I am sure we all send our sympathies to our Aussie friends, including
Pat, for the terrible fires they are experiencing. And I see that their
temps hit 47º--same as we had in Northern California two summers ago.
If you have never been that hot--well, it is really, really hot. It
made our swimming pool hit 34º at one point.
Carry on, Mate.

Dear All,
As I advised yesterday we were in for a hot dry day with low humidity
yesterday; the prediction was for 44 °C. It turned out that the
temperature at the Avalon airport near Geelong was the hottest place
in the state. The temperature there reached 46.9°C at 15:00 with winds
gusting between 10 km/h and 60 km/h.
