Another scorcher

It is official - today is going to be a scorcher!

The predicted high is 44 with hot winds blowing in from the desert. There are official warnings advising people to stay indoors and close to their airconditioners. There is expected to be a massive drain on power supplies as people crank up aircon, fans, evaporative coolers and anything they can find to beat the heat.

The good news is, the Cool Change is due to happen later on in the evening. The Cool Change is the nickname given to the change of wind direction here when it swings from blowing in from the desert to blowing in from the ocean. When it happens, the temperature can drop as much as ten degrees in fifteen minutes. It makes a welcome change to the searingly dry heat.

We have to do some shopping this morning to pick up a few bits and pieces and then I suspect we might end up at the beach, neck deep in water. Mmmmm.

Yours meltingly,
