Summer On The Sunshine Coast

We have waited some time for summer to arrive but it sure has done so over the last week or so. Max temperature most days is around 31 or 32 degrees with humidity as high as 75% (which is high even by local standards!). The pool is now about 27 first thing in the morning and warms up to around 30 by afternoon. Humidity is predicted to fall from 75% and I see today it is back around 62%.

Overnight it gets down to about 24. However the humidity coupled with ceiling fans work together to create an effective cooling mechanism. A couple of icy cold home brews help too I might add!

So this is how we fight against the heat! The pool is used up to 5 times per day. A final swim before going to bed ensures a good night's sleep. It was wonderful in the pool last night at 10 pm under the stars, pool temp around 28!

I am not sure I would want to work in this weather though ... unless your workplace was air-conditioned!
