The predicted 41 has been topped, 44 on the front veranda with a hot wind that feels like it has come across an active volcano.
Only 34% humidity, what a bastard of a day >:D

Edit,
Dreaming of a cool river bank somewhere ;D

It topped out at 38 (feels like 39.7) with 33% humidity in Rosewood Qld, now it has dropped to 33 and 60% humidity. Got some weather coming in, so hopefully it will be more pleasant tomorrow.

Post by: Hairs on January 15, 2017, 05:45:14 PM
It doesn't take much to dehydrate.
Glad I went to the trouble of setting up my fridge in the back of the cruiser ;D
I take 4lt of water to work every day, even in winter.
Through summer it is refilled several times. If I have anyone offsiding me for the day, I make sure they bring heaps of water too.
Hey Rumpig, I know how ya feel mate,
When we insulated the ceiling a couple of years ago, I did it myself, 200sm.
It was Spring, mid October, started at 2am, finished about 8am, lost track of how much I drank, must of lost 10 kilo, took me days to get over it. Still haven't painted the hole I made with my knee through the ceiling in the lounge room :angel:
Hey Kev,
It is so easy to do mate.
That's why on Friday I pulled the pin at 3pm, I had several more jobs to do, screw that, I don't get paid to be a dickhead(that I do for free ;D )and put myself or someone else at risk.
Julian, you'd right about that ;D
It is summer :cheers:
Now it is quiet nice, slight breeze, cloudy, a few beers and the cricket is on :cheers:

:worthles:it was a white shirt to ya sicko...lol...covered in paint and No More Gaps and timber stain though, so not see through
I knew a building and pest guy who fell really ill.made sure they were as short a stint as possible in the roof, the moment I climbed out of the roof I took a short break and was drinking either water or Powerade to keep hydrated...not hard to see how people could get ill from being in there to long on a day like today was though

Anything is possible in March Bruce.
Dont let the 5 deg worry you though. It is unusual to get such a low this time of year and to be honest it was at the crack of dawn, it was a nice sunny 24 deg for the rest of the day.
There is a lot to be said for cool nights for sleeping and comfortable 20-30 deg days during summer ;D
