Australia wilting under the heat
Oct 6^th, 2015 at 5:03pm

Wowee! Mildura expecting 39 C. Denialists will be smoking.

Quote:

Parts of the Sydney Basin are likely to get their longest spell of early-season heat on record, giving residents and visitors yet more reason to hit the beaches.

Penrith, Bankstown and Richmond could all bask in four consecutive days above 33 degrees in a heatwave that began on Saturday, James Casey, a meteorologist with Weatherzone, said.

Penrith is forecast to reach 37 degrees on both Monday and Tuesday, with Richmond likely to peak at similar levels.
Sydney's Observatory Hill won't be quite that hot but a trio of days 33 degrees or warmer from Sunday to Tuesday, if reached, would be the city's warmest October run since 2004, Mr Casey said.

So far on Monday, the city's mercury has reached 37 degrees, compared with the long-run average for October of 22 degrees - and very close to the 37.4 degree record for this early in the spring set back in 1942. Olympic Park has reached 37.5 degrees, with both Penrith and Richmond also reaching 37.

North-westerly winds are streaming in from the hot, dry inland regions of the country. These pushed humidity levels to just 15 per cent on Sunday, down from 50-60 per cent a day earlier, he said.

Climatologists are gathering the numbers on the burst of heat, with places such as Mildura in north-western Victoria setting a 37.5 degree early-season record on Sunday.

That record may last all of one day with another scorcher of 39 degrees forecast for the town on Monday.

I'm not sure, she sounds serious, but..........

heat waves are a given

so is climate change, there's only a handful of people that deny climate change today.

The report says heat records are now happening three times more often than cold records, and that the number of hot days across Australia has "more than doubled".

It says the duration and frequency of heatwaves increased between 1971 and 2008, and the hottest days have become hotter.

my personal philosophy on this is to use it as an up coming event to try and get better.

we may well see rising temperatures

this will sort out the boys from the men.

i try to get out in the heat and do some really heavy work every day that the temps is above 30.

our body can easily acclimatise to this.

so you now can function whilst others fall by the wayside.

as i have said before, if it was a stinking hot day and you were an athlete running a marathon and you see a big big hill in front, here is what you should think

"this is fantastic, i am going to bust a nut on this hill becuase it gives me the chance i need to blow away the opposition"

once you see every problem as an opportunity, you can get back on course.

so if we get massive heatwaves and droughts and food shortages....great, it will blow away our opposition.

give me some GM corn that is drought resistant, some
brahman cattle, build me a few dams and i'll earn you 3 x the export dollars when the food prices in asia skyrocket due to climate change.

i call this forward planning and not trying to fight the seasons, after every winter comes a spring, every problem brings an opportunity
