See you guys over there are having a 30c day and wveryone reckons its hot!!
Im on the west coast in australia, Perth.
Our summer here we regularly get a couple of weeks in February at 45-48c every year and still keep going- you get used to it after a while.
Keep in the shade and drink lots of water!!
On another note, as said, im on the west coast and we are not suffering power issue or huge power price increases like our eastern states- why ?
About 20 years ago state govt told the gas producers in our northwest where we
have one of the biggest gas fields in the world the unless they quarantined 15% of all gas produced at a reduced price for the state , the govt would not allow the
gas companies any new permits to explore.
It worked, they signed the deal. thus we in the west have cheaper stable base load power as our power is generated mostly by gas fired power stations.
