Default Melt down

The temperatures are in the 40+C range for the next few days and the place is in meltdown. The last time I experienced this was in central Australia in the summer and in Saudi Arabia when working there in the 70's. Even the cat has flaked out in the shade.

Even worse than predicted as the temps topped 46C today, it was so hot I reversed the Pajero into the shade and the steering wheel was red hot so I went 'hands free' and demolished our mail box being careless.

Again the temps are very high, 38.1C in the shade but high humidity with storms brewing up around us. This is getting just far too prolonged now with the temperatures usually way over 30C daily and night temps around 22-25C for the past month plus. I have seen any rain at all during this time so the place is like scorched earth.
