Let's hope that's the real cool change. Temperatures have dropped but still hot and humid all around.

How do you guys cope when your worse off than us in Melbourne? When I retire, I'm heading for the South Coast or Tassie.
Best thing about living in Melbourne compared to up here is you get relief from the heat, we go weeks not dropping under 30, plus no afternoon sea breezeTigerForce said:

A wind change and local thunderstorms came through at about 2 when we were leaving for a wedding in port Campbell. Some decent drops of rain however northerlys kicked back in soon after and the temps headed north again.

Your spot in Victoria is my favourite WT. I hate summer heat especially in heat waves and would rather spend a summer near the coast which has bayside seabreezes, and the SW is usually the first to get a cool change during a hot spell.

Stirring. But reading the likes of The Age, you'd think we'd never had hot weather before.

I think you need to interpret those with a grain of salt. The BoM have only used standardised and calibrated equipment since 1908.

Anyone know what rain looks like? ;D Already hit 40 in this 'dry as a bone' city. Hopefully no more bushfires.

in terms of extreme heat, I can only remember 1 day over 43 in my lifetime prior to the black Saturday summer of 2008/09 (it reached 44 degrees on... pretty sure it was 25/1/03). since the black Saturday summer I can recall at least 6 days over 43 off the top of my head (4 of them were in 2009, including 3 in a row on around Australia day).
