THE FREAKING WEATHER!!!!!!

i really truly absolutely positively detest summer, AND ITS NOT EVEN HERE YET!!!!!! bloody hell, 8 days straight of temps in the high 30's (for you metrically challenged americans, that would be 100F and above), and its only november...

haha tell me about it! I still prefer it over being cold though, even though it hurts the whole sleep thing!


Speaking of bitching, how about those idiots that decided it would be smart to do a "controlled burn" on a 38C or so day? And now it's an out of control bushfire?! Idiots


We've got a bad summer of fires coming up though.....

You guys can always come on over to Canada for the next 6 months or so of massive amounts of snow and -30C weather.

Actually kind of envy you guys as we don't even come close to that kind of heat here. Wish we did though.

Haha it is good, although the week of 40C plus leading up to our Black Saturday Bushfires last year was just horrible.


Honestly the worst part of the heat here at the moment is not enduring it, but that we're still suffering a bit of a drought in Victoria, and everything is just dry and perfectly ready to burst into flames.
I'm concerned, but I'm also really grateful for all our international friends who help us during this time. For example we get firefighters and equipment from California while they're in winter, and try and return the favour during their fire season, which as we saw is just as bad...

Sounds messed up out there for the fires, but given that here in Ontario we get nothing like that I can only say I wish we had warmer weather. Our summer was crap to say the least, but we also did not have to deal with brushfires.

Very big problem in the province of Alberta, but not where I am.

Nice that you guys get some help from other Countries though as I can imagine it to be quite scary having fires that rampant so close to home.

Do you want some of our rain, we have plenty of it

we would kill for your rain... just about the whole of the south-east of australia is in drought conditions... and its shaping up to be a horrible bushfire/wildfire season, as bad, if not worse, than last summer...
