  1. A block of land with little to no water bodies inland to provide any form of cooling. Reason why Australia is so dry, hot and barren.

  2. Scared for tomorrow in Victoria. Stay safe everyone.

    Unfortunately with the extreme and unpredictable winds that are forecast tomorrow I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to experience my first evacuation…. hopefully it doesn’t come to that but I am ready to evac at a moment’s notice if needed!

  3. Suffering with this unbearable 22 degree heat today in Tassie. When will the heatwave end?

    That purple dot is the weather system fucking us up in the north (if that’s not what it’s marking, it’s atleast right near that!)

    My app is predicting 45C in the northern suburbs of Melbourne tomorrow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it hit that. I’m going to go check the BOM brb.

    Edit: maximum Jan temperature is 45.6c in 1939. Maximum temp is 46.4 in 2009. This is for “Melbourne regional office”, I can’t seem to choose essential Essendon (about 10km NNW) as I was trying to

    It’s Summer here and Winter in the middle east and other desert countries…

    This happens every year at this time and is basically just acknowledging seasons are a thing. But big upvote for seasons.

  7. I’d be interested in seeing this for night time. Like our summer night vs northern hemisphere winter day.

    Like this doesn’t surprise me at all, we all know Australian summer is scorching. Just like I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere like the middle of Texas or a desert is the hottest place on earth during their day.

    Seeing how close our night is to their day would be interesting.

    I feel so bad for the people who live in. The centre of Australia. Like im dying here in Adelaide with 45⁰ weather, I cant imagine those that have the suns full rage beaming down upon them.

    It was that hot around lunchtime, I saw a tree following a dog around. Flame 🔥🥵😂

  10. Meanwhile, up here in Bristol, it’s 5º (real feel 4º), though it’s been negative, it was -6º on Saturday and, where my parents live (also in the south) it was -9º!

    But, no, I don’t envy southern Australia right now – 43º in Melbourne yesterday (as it will be tomorrow, too) is fucking insane, and then it’ll drop right back down to 19º on Sunday – what the fuck’s going on down there…?!

    If you’re in an extreme fire alert zone, ***PLEASE GET YOURSELF SAFE!***
