Imperial Masterpiece
While you northerners settle back for a cosy winter Australia is sweltering through an early heatwave. Record breaking December temperatures recorded all over southern Australia in the past few days.
41C - 43C recorded by the BoM today in nearby towns though a little cooler here in the hills. My thermometers only reached 41C (that's 105.8 in the F scale) this afternoon except for the one in the poly tunnel that made it to 49C. Maybe the smoke haze today kept temps down a bit here.
48C was common through South Australia today but I believe a cool change will pass through tomorrow so predicted top tomorrow for this area is only 38C
The trees are coping as long as watering is adequate but I did see some juniper runners drooping before I watered this afternoon.
Plenty more to come as Summer has only just started for us.
