Um, Even More Extreme Weather

So, this is the third post about weather in just over a month.

Firstly it has been warm here again even as some of the manufacturing plants on the east coast for my company lost days during last week due to extreme weather - a big winter storm - and shut down completely.

But that is almost not even worth talking about. Poor old Adelaide just recorded its first day under 40°C (104°F) in over a week. On Wednesday the maximum was 45.7°C (114.2°F), which was 0.6° off of the all time hottest temperature on record for Adelaide. They are attributing over 20 deaths to the heat.

They are finally expecting a change in the weather on Sunday of this week.

Climate Change anyone?
