Cooler Today

The air con worked for almost 12 hours yesterday before a weak change made its way in from the south around 9pm last night.  Our backyard thermometer reached 44.5 degrees and the temperature was above 40 until the sun went down.  Overnight it was around the mid 20's.

The pool was sensational yesterday and used repeatedly (especially during breaks in the cricket) by both of us.  The shelter provided the shade and it wasn't too bad sitting out there.  Humidity was around 25% for much of the time.  The pool temp peaked at around 29 degrees yesterday afternoon.  It was still 27.5 degrees for my post bike ride swim this morning.

Today is the opposite, cloudy, overcast, mid 20's and trying to drizzle.  The humidity is around 75%.  We are expecting a top of high 20's.  It is trying to rain but all we have managed so far is a very brief light shower.

This morning I had a slightly shorter ride than usual and as you can see from the photo I rode down to Pumicestone Passage.  There were a few walkers and riders out and about, all enjoying the cooler conditions.

We have been promised another hotter day tomorrow before a cooler and stronger change on Tuesday which revert things back to 'normal'.

I will continue to spend my time in front of the TV today and enjoying the cricket.  The ceiling fans will come into their own with the sticky weather creating a situation not too dissimilar to Melbourne' "Evaporative Cooling".
