So I checked my F° to C°. Oh man that is very very warm to me.
41°C equaled 105.8°F. .......:gaah:
Just curious what you do when it's so hot.
Is this a dry heat? Is this a seasonal thing or something else?
Stay Healthy. ....:thumbup:
Currently 23°F here in Indiana, USA.
Just checked and 23°F equaled -5°C.
Up here in the Hills, we do get all 4 seasons (and not in
just one day, like Melbourne & Sydney often do!
) so the warm weather is
usually very much a seasonal thing, and we
should be well into it, being almost a third of the way thru our 'normal' summer! We've even been known to get sub-zero temps over-night any time conditions are right, possibly even after a 40 degree C day, & often get snow in the Hills during our Wintertime (June, July, August
) but it doesn't stay on the ground too long very often! Still,
January is usually our
hottest month after practicing & trying it's hardest all December.... :dontknow:
When it gets warm up here it's usually a fairly dry heat, rarely over about 40% humidity, unlike down on the fairly narrow (but looong...
) Coastal Plain where Adelaide City proper & all the 'burbs sit, & where it's often some degrees hotter and almost always stickier & muggier - so up here in the Hills, while temps like that are not uncommon, because it's usually not too humid it's also not usually
too uncomfortable....
usually!
But what with all the rain & flooding we've been copping so far this year, it's been pretty humid & a tad uncomfortable around here most of the time of late, regardless of the temps - recently humidity's been in the high 80%'s up to high 90%'s.... altho today only saw mid 60% humidity & it looks like the humidity will start to drop even more from tomorrow, with the heat building again for next week-end/the New Year... but with any luck, it'll be a drier & a less humid heat than it has been of late!
hyea:
As I mentioned earlier, come January, it usually gets a bit hotter around here anyway... Not as bad here in the Hills or as hot as can get just a little further away from the coast, or even just out of the Hills & Ranges & heading anywhere but South... ie just a little further into the Outback &/or out onto the surrounding plains, but temps in the high 40's are becoming more common around here, with the occasional daytime temp pushing up to just a tad over 50 Degrees C! But this is really just the sorta weather I grew up with & in, living in the sticks, so basically I'm fairly used to it & just put up with it - when it's a dry heat anyway!!
Still, for all the rest of it, you've gotta remember that Adelaide (the nearest city) is widely recognised as the
driest Capital City in the
driest State of the
driest Continent in the World after the Antarctic Continent! :shocked: So we do get to spend a lot of time living in hot & dry weather, with temps often reaching into the high 40's (degrees C) & occasionally (increasingly frequently) even higher, with droughts that often last 10 years or more! And if the weather's not trying hard to re-define what 'Hot & Dry'
really means, there's a good chance it'll be pushing the other end of the scale with flooding rains - Dorothea McKellar wasn't kidding when she described Oz as '
A sunburnt country' ..... '
of droughts flooding rains' :thumbup:

...Well another year is coming to a close. I hope you enjoyed the Spyder Ryde Time and Always Stay Safe. My next Ryde Time will be in March or April. Road salt and the cold weather will not be my friend. Boy do we have a ton of salt on the roads. The cagers seem to love the ice and snow. Lots of damage vehicles are on the road and more to come.
