OZ930 Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 So what was the humidity on these "scorcher" days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiller Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 37 degrees on the exit of heyson tunnels this evening...29 degrees 5kms up the road in Stirling. Thank god for altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 So what was the humidity on these "scorcher" days?No idea, yet it's been much more humid this past week than we're used to down here. We usually have a very dry heat. How the bloody hell a Queenslander can work outside is beyond me. Weird that last Sunday was warm and bloody humid, then Monday drizzling rain and mid teens in the hills where I was working, then 2 days later its 42.4?

Mid to low 20's does me fine, without the humidity, just like now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 Come to Melbourne, Who knows it could be 40° and 10 mins later it could be a cool change and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 9February, 2017 Report Share Posted 9February, 2017 Went to Philip Island for the bike GP one year. Got to 39 degrees and was overheating so badly, then within seconds, it dropped to 20 degrees, windy and hammering rain to end up hypothermic. Crowded House' song '4 seasons in one day' was very appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 10February, 2017 Report Share Posted 10February, 2017 I live in far western Sydney, bout as far as you can get and still be called Sydney (65km out). The last two weeks has been pretty awful. Its generally 10-12 degrees hotter out here than the advertised temperature in old Sydney town. We went a week last week with tops never under 40, and one night where the low was 35. Forecast is 44 today, 48 tomorrow. On top of that its generally a humid heat too. I've no idea how people live up in Cairns through summer.Relative Humidity currently 88%, temp 35 degrees at 11:30am .. gah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 10February, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10February, 2017 With that speed, thought you were on the BolteI was stopped at the train crossing just up the road from where I'm working. Car had been running for about 5 minutes. How's the temps... Also worth noting where the turbo pressure telltale is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINGY Posted 10February, 2017 Report Share Posted 10February, 2017 Leaving home today and i live 300 mtrs from Lake Maquarie and its always cool here, well mostly, 39 deg and i drove to my Dad's house to check on it, it was 42 when i arrived he lives in a semi rural area, went out the back yard to tidy up and my clothes were wet in 10 mins, had to call it a day after that and when i left it was 44 all the way home to the lake and it currently is 40 at the time of posting this.Just heard on the news the authorities have asked the Aluminium smelter in Newcastle to cut back on power but they have responded that the metal may not stay molten in the pots and would be a catastrophic failure for them costing millions if it were to happen.This weather is nuts!

I think PeterM is going to buy a Lotus so we may not talk to him any more Will do. He's road tripping (in a Bogundore, aka, the Porsche tow car) from WA next week I think.
