North winds off central Australia hottest ones desert winds whatever.

South winds cool for me lake 40 kms away sea 90 kms away wind blows over both. Often bring showers

I’ve seen better legs on a pool table so mine covered 10 months of year. In shorts today currently balmy 36

Also wear jeans in case of snake bite.

So what's the difference down there, the week of +40C here decimated my crop, how is Australia able to get crops every year? Or are my seasons out of whack and you guys are between crops right now or something?

Australia's +40 comes at harvest time after crop has matured. We got it during the prime portion of the growing season. Worst of both worlds. Western canuckistan is the anus of creation.

Thinking maybe worn shorts on a holiday with a lady friend so.... twice since birth 🤣
But I do go down to Saxx under light coveralls when over 25. Cant take heat like when I was under 30.
No fun when old hands hurt like hell in this weather.

I beg to differ. See Mallee's comment above regarding snakes. I'll take 40 below over snake and spiders and intolerable heat any day.
Although harvesting when the days are getting longer, and under no threat of imminent snow would be appealing. But stilll would cancel out the spiders and snakes.

Had a guy who used to work casually for us on and off. Friggin loonigan used to grab snakes by the tail and crack them like a whip. Meant to snap there neck.

To show I don’t bullshit I never saw him once succeed in about 6 attempts. But it was a bit of light humour.

Reckon austcanada is in grips of moderate heat wave not exactly sure we’re he is. We’ve got today 38 tomorrow 41 next day 37 then back to mid 20s for a week.

Definition of heatwave often point of conjecture myself I say 4 days over 40 but plenty parts of oz get it for weeks. Longest spell here I reckon 10 days between 39 and 46. Dad used to say common when he was a kid. We are all soft cocks.
