Record Heat in Melbourne

See ABC's news story about once-in-a-century heat wave in Melbourne - here. Seems I left for Europe just in time.
Three days in a row with temperatures close to 40 is something that makes one feel as if being in an oven. It is often worse to be inside of a house than outside. Unless it is air-conditioned, in which case it can be felt on the electricity bill, too.

As for the Europe - I traveled in a short-sleeved shirt. It is not that cold. The temperatures are above zero and I'm hoping to see some snow in the cities towards the end of the week.

  1. Air conditioning may be great, but it doesn't work without power. Guess what, power failures were all over the place yesterday. I lashed out and used some water and stayed cool in the bath.
