It's currently (3.50pm) 35.9 deg in our back yard but the humidity is only 17%....much easier to cope with than coastal humidity. Wind is blowing from the west so is not a cool breeze, but it's not too bad really. It seems that southern NSW, Victoria and Tassie are the ones copping the high temps this time.

The forecast is for similar hot temperatures for at least another week. It's apparently the fault of a large mass of hot air sitting squarely over Oz, monsoon clouds that haven't come down from Indonesia, and cool air which hasn't moved north from Antarctica.

Oh well, by the time my birthday rolls round once more in early May hopefully it will have cooled a little.....
