Here in Australia we have had heatwaves for the last month.
There have been extreme weather health warnings given particularly for the elderly, chronic health sufferers and the young and then to the general public.
Today it is 36 celsius , tomorrow 41C, Thursday night it is going to be 29C overnight
rage: horrible!) followed by 44C Friday. It is supposed to "cool down" to about 32c Sunday but then goes up again next week.
I hate Summer anyway but this year has been particularly bad, we have had three days each week for the last three, with days of 40C+ with the coolest so far being probably Sunday.
I am in central Victoria and sigh when I see Melbourne (Vics capital) being 25 today, us 36
. If you can have cool nights and get all the windows open, you can sleep in comfort and the house cools down, but we're in for a couple of hot nights coming up. I have air conditioning and fans, wear neck coolers (they keep me going).
I am so very sorry for anyone who doesn't have air conditioning, even with that on yesterday it got to 30c inside the house by the afternoon.
There are certainly severe weather patterns seen worldwide now. Even the very creation seems to be groaning (as the Bible says) and its like creation is winding down.
