40+ at Caloundra West

Comments get made about my preoccupation with weather where we live. 

Right now at just after 11 am on Saturday Jan 4th our outdoor temperature monitor is telling us it is 40.3 in our backyard right now.  Inside it is around 27 degrees but the air-con has been on for around an hour.  We can expect the temperature to ease as the day progresses and we get some respite caused by our proximity to the sea.

The Test cricket from Sydney is playing on the TV.

The one saving point of today's hot weather is that the humidity is down around 32%.  This at least makes the weather outside not as bad as it could have been.

Thank heavens for the solar energy panels beefing out electricity on these sunny days.  The pool is a very popular spot throughout the day.

Yesterday was hot as well with a top around 36 in our enclosed backyard.  The temp fell to the high 20's after the sun went down last night.  However the strong northerly we have had took the temperature back up to 30 degrees when we went to bed after a swim at 11pm.

However a cooler change is expected for us later today.
