Thursday 29 January 2009

Hi all,

Thanks for the well wishes about the heat. It's record-breaking.

Sizzling temps may climb past record - THE soaring temperature in Adelaide has threatened the national capital city record of 46.2C, set in Perth in 1991.

Worst to come for firefighters - FIREFIGHTERS have worked through the night to contain fires before Victoria is hit by more scorching hot conditions and high winds today.

Power Supplies on Brink of Meltdown - VICTORIA is on the brink of a power meltdown as the blistering heatwave drains electricity supplies.

Water storage levels fall 1.6b litres - MELBOURNE'S water storages fell 1.6 billion litres in 24 hours as people turned on taps with the city sizzling in 40C-plus temperatures.

Heat buckles Melbourne rail lines - CONNEX has warned commuters to prepare for mass delays as Melbourne's rail network buckles in 42C heat.

It was 43.4C yesterday, and much the same today - which is roughly 110F. And forcast is 43C again tomorrow. Apparently this kind of heatwave hasn't happened since 1908 - when no-one had aircon! Those poor over-clothed people! hehehe

Anyway, pretty hot in my opinion, especially considering I'm pretty far south of the mainland of Aust so it shouldn't be getting so stupidly hot here. I feel sorry for the people everywhere else!

My stats for today:
You have used 1324 out of your net daily budget of 1500 calories and have 176 calories remaining. 73% of the calories are from fat, 19% from protein, 8% from carbs and 0% from alcohol.
