A note on the heat

As noted in the prior post, we've just suffered through some very hot weather. The inner west of Sydney had 7 days above 35C (95F). Other parts of the state were even hotter. We hit 44C on our trip to the Hunter. Most uncomfortable were the evenings - when the temperature doesn't drop at night, it makes things seem even worse. Sydney recorded its highest minimum ever - 28C. Its hard to sleep in that heat. The heat wave broke on Sunday with a southerly buster - the temperature dropped 15C in about an hour. That was a welcome relief.

The official word is that its not related to climate change...really? Really? It does seem awfully coincidental.
