How I would love to be your boy/girl dancing in the snow today.
Here it did not get below 32c last night and today will be up to 46c making it the hottest population centre in The World :P
Love Jeangurl :-*

Holy Hell Fire, 32C is 90F. 46C is 115F! But it's a dry heat (LOL). Don't have to worry about cooking, just aim a couple mirrors, reflectors, or aluminum foil at your food, & it'll cook it up fine. Hope you're enjoying your summer down under.
We hit 92F here in the summer but it was a thick, swampy, humid heat from hot air blowing over the warm Great Lakes right at us. My AC brought the humidity down a lot more than the temperature to make it bearable. Outside it was like a steam room.
All the snow in my neighborhood melted a couple days ago. Today even the puddles & mud dried up. Been able to keep my place at 65F (18C) to 74F (23C) without running any heating at all, & a couple windows cracked open for fresh air (even through the night)... for 3 days! The heat given off the back of my old fridge, the computers, cooking food, & making a little coffee seems to heat up the place more that enough on these 30-40F days outside (40F=4C).
I guess it depends on what you're used to. 40F outside feels fine to me for about a half hour or so without a coat. 50F is fine for me long-term without a coat (10C). 0F is cold for everybody, you never get used to it that cold, & it dangerous unless you dress properly. But 17F felt wonderful by comparison... normally I don't like anything in the low 20s or below, & it runs up my heating bill too much.
At 90F-115F make sure you're drinking lots of water. Some peeps don't notice they're dehydrated or over heated until it's too late. Both can cause permanent organ & brain damage. The human body will never get used to it that hot safely. Keep cool or wet, hydrated, & in the shade.
Wear white or silver dresses & tights to reflect the heat away from you. (-;
It so nice to hear from the future. By the time I've finished my usual late lunch, it's already tomorrow in Australia & even later in New Zealand.

I love the hot humid weather, I wish I could have a week or two of it right now.
What I need is a long nice drive to florida, then come back when it starts to get warm here.
They do have cheap flights from the local airport, $67.00 one way, but the cost of everything down there is out of my range, $75 to get into Sea World.
