Queensland heatwave: Brisbane set to roast as weekend temperatures soar - Polidicks

[QUOTE]The scorching heatwave gripping much of Queensland is being felt in Brisbane today, with residents set to roast in temperatures of up to 41 degrees Celsius. At 9:25am, the mercury had already hit 35.1C, with the apparent temperature hovering at 37.4C, according to the Bureau of Meteorology website. By 1:00pm, the temperature had risen to 38C, although the apparent temperature was 41C. Queensland's interior has been sweltering through record-breaking heat in recent days, along with parts of Central Australia and north-western New South Wales. The heatwave continued as a Bureau of Meteorology report revealed 2013 was the hottest year on record in Australia. The mass of hot air causing the extreme weather again led to searing temperatures in central and western Queensland on Friday. St George topped the temperature list with 47.2C, while Winton and Longreach also had scorchers at 46.4C and 46.3C respectively. Charleville followed on 46.1C, while Blackall, Roma and Thargomindah all recorded temperatures just above 45C. Brisbane's top for Friday was 34.3C, but the mercury is predicted to reach 41C today as northerly winds push the heatwave south.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-01-03/brisbane-set-to-roast-as-heatwave-continues/5184242[/url] Meanwhile in Ipswich: [img]http://puu.sh/68Ww8.png[/img]

The sun literally cooked me, I taste great.

Dear Australia: Fuck you. Sincerely, Freezing cold North America.

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;43411126]Dear Australia: Fuck you. Sincerely, Freezing cold North America.[/QUOTE] Ay, fuck you buddy

Even the water coming out of the pipes is warm. I can't have a cold shower.

Yay for 19c Melbourne weather. For a change, we're cool while the rest of Australia is boiling up.

I hate life, i had to go out and help a friend today when i could of been at home in my 20 degree pool...

It was 27 degrees last night in Brisbane. :(

[QUOTE=DaCommie1;43411126]Dear Australia: Fuck you. Sincerely, Freezing cold North America.[/QUOTE] Can we trade? I'd like some snow.

Whelp I live between Brisbane and Ipswich and it was 45 degrees here. It was 38C at 10am.

Clearly we need to unite under the Commonwealth and send each other the weather we desperately want.

it's 30c now and it's 6:30pm wtf

hehehe suck shit queensland [editline]4th January 2014[/editline] Melbourne number 1

We think a possum died in our roof overnight, and it's slowly being cooked now. Every damn surface I touched today was hot, I had a drink earlier where the drink itself was cold but the cup was hot.

you aussies stole all the fucking heat [editline]4th January 2014[/editline] Or maybe we stole all the cold wait

It's finally starting to cool down though, in the last hour it's dropped from 36c to 34c by my desk. For some reason today was the day I picked to start a new run through of Far Cry 3, GPU got up to 89c (With the fans on max)

My GPU's got that hot that my computer kept freezing today. Never happened before, shit's insane. It reached 41c in my fucking room today. pls give cold back. I'd honestly prefer having extremely temperatures (at least you can rug up) than melting alive in 40ish D:

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;43412037]I just came out of the pool, sun roasted it to a fine 24 degrees and it was nice[/QUOTE] I'm sure you would have made a nice soup to some cannibals.

If it was 44C I wouldn't even have to kill myself, I would just evaporate and become the most cynical cloud and piss on people

Huh. Everyone Down Under is literally roasting, and yet my area is the coldest it's been in decades. GG Earth.

[QUOTE=Saxon;43411841]you aussies stole all the fucking heat [editline]4th January 2014[/editline] Or maybe we stole all the cold wait[/QUOTE] Knowing why Australia was made, we more than likely stole the heat. Except for Perth and Melbourne, Perth and Melbourne and good temperatures at the moment.

Fuck summer.

Man, I wish it was hot here

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;43412459]Man, I wish it was hot here[/QUOTE] No you don't, literally 2 minutes in the sun today and you feel your skin crackling

[QUOTE=DogGunn;43411522]Yay for 19c Melbourne weather. For a change, we're cool while the rest of Australia is boiling up.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, it'll be 29C there in 6 hours.
