Sydney sweltered through its hottest New Year's Day on record yesterday as blowtorch conditions pushed the mercury to 44.2C (112F), causing power blackouts and sparking more than 40 bushfires along Australia's east coast.

 

Homes and cars were destroyed, towns isolated and roads cut off as firestorms raged across parts of New South Wales, Victoria and the capital, Canberra.

 

At least 35 people were treated for heat exhaustion at Sydney's beaches and 100 people were rescued by lifeguards.

I'm trying to think of some joke involving DBAH0 and "on fire" or "hot", but it's just not coming to me.

 

In other news, that's really freaking hot. I can't even stand the mid 90's. 75 and breezy is my favorite.

That's a shame.

 

And yeah on New Years Eve it did get to 110 down here. Luckily the night when it was still at least 80, was spent around at a buddies drinking Corona's in the spa.

 

EDIT: And I'm kind of like the opposite of you farm, I hate the cold, but I love the hot weather. Probably why I liked Phoenix so much.

Damned global warming. And I'm with farmteam on this one, 70's and breezy is perfect.
