Heat records fall as Sydney sizzles

[Violet_Crumble]

14. Hey Matilda. It was a bit milder here at 42 degrees, but it was also an all-time record for us*...

I'm just grateful our heat doesn't have the humidity that Sydney's does, but dry heat at over 40 is pretty much unbearable. I ventured out for lunch, but went fleeing back into the office pretty quickly, and was very grateful I left the a/c on this morning to try to keep my dog comfortable during the day...

* Correction: just read there was one other day that was a bit hotter in Canberra in February 1968...
