Heat Wave Perth

... and which - pray ask - is Sash?

 

A madman of course....isn't anyone who invests in Perth...which is dependent on iron ore and choina

 

Yay it's going to be cooler today. Wooohoooo!

 

Thankfully

I have been taking dogs for walk at 6 am, poor darlings

 

I’m over it.



Perth has already broken the city’s record for the most days at 40C or over during summer - and it’s only the start of February.

The previous record for the most days at 40C or over during a Perth summer was seven in 2015/2016.

As it stands, Perth has experienced 11 days at 40C or over since the start of December, and with another 40C day predicted for Saturday the number is set to climb to 12.

And bear in mind it is only the start of February (typically Perth’s hottest month), meaning Perth could well and truly double the previous record for the most days at 40C or over.

 

Meanwhile in WA's North West

 

You've had a shocker year. Today, out east, it's winter conditions ... howling wind, wet and chill. Barely making it into the 20s ... so much so I made a hearty beef and vege chunky soup for dinner

 

I would gladly swap. I'll even take the tail end of a cyclone and all it's humidity for some rain to give something different from living in an oven.

 

Global warming is fake news… allegedly. Siberia is melting. We can move there is Putin allows

 

Not to mention



TRANSCONTINENTAL rail freight services from Australia’s eastern states to Western Australia and the Northern Territory have been severely disrupted by heavy rainfall in the South Australian outback, which has cut the main Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) rail corridor in several places.

All east-west freight services to and from Perth have been suspended since January 21, and ARTC said on January 26 the line was unlikely to reopen for another 12 days. Intermodal and iron-ore trains on the line to Darwin have also stopped as they use the ARTC line between Port Augusta and Tarcoola.


So Coles and Woolies are running out of the usual Covid suspects plus more - frozen fruit and veg, dairy, bacon.

Apparently it’s good for the independent butchers.

 

Not the bacon!?

 

Even worse no eggs. Its the end of the world

 

Neighbours with chooks?

 

I wish

I ended up going to a small local store and paid $9.00 for dozen free range eggs. I think a new norm now

 

41 degrees today

 

43 today! I managed to reshape my dogs bed base that he loved that I accidentally melted a week ago leaving it on the patio

 

17C degrees in Brisbane. You all welcome for a break

 

24c in Sydney today.
Out in the west, we usually have at least 10 days over 40c in summer.
This year, we have had none at all so far, thanks to the constant showers.
Very strange summer.
