Hot & Steamy

The weather is the main talking point around the area today.  At the beginning of yesterday after a cool day or two, the pool was mid 20's.

By 5pm the pool water was almost 30º.  The cloudy morning yesterday cleared to a bright sunny day.  At 5pm the clouds returned and we had quite a heavy shower around 9pm.

This morning there were 11mls in the rain gauge and the sun was shining brightly again.  The photo above left  was taken during my bike ride this morning.

I was a mass of perspiration after my 13k bike ride and the swim in the pool after my ride was delightful.  With that heavy shower last night, the humidity was well up this morning too, making it feel even hotter.  The weather bureau are talking of a top temperature around 32º today along with 65% humidity.

The house is all locked up with the blinds drawn, all designed to keep the heat out.  If necessary the air-con will get a run later on.  Then of course there is the pool.  We will get through the day without a hassle.

The MCG cricket is on TV weather permitting! The forecast for Melbourne is showery but hopefully there won't be too many interruptions to play.
