    Well, yeah ... 46 C is a temperature we seldom have in Rio. 40 is our common, on summers. But usually, 38, 37.

    I like it but, then ... there's the sea. (It brings good fresh air, at night.)

    Would you believe we had -14F (-26C) the other night here? Lucky today is above freezing and sunny and quite nice. Tomorrow is actually going to be spring like. But it's not to last.

    That sounds wonderful Libri. Some day I will have to experience Rio.

    Edit: Big time edit: It was not -14F here the other night. It was +14F, which is about -10C. Sorry if anyone was shocked. Still 14F is damn cold.

    Virgil if you send some of your cold this way we will send the heat. We are currently ablaze with bushfires both here in NSW but worse in Victoria. We have lost people and homes over night. The army has been deployed it is that bad. Here hoping the rain we have forecast for next week arrives.
    Fingers crossed everyone

    I hate Texas weather. It can never make up its mind.

    Last week we had 2 snow days straight because our roads froze over and Texans can barley drive in the rain nonetheless snow. If there's so much as a drizzle people start freaking out. Derrrr
    A week later after our mid-week weekend we had a fog and high of 78 with bright blue sunshine.
    Then some rain.
    Then it was sunshine again.

    Well we have floods in Queensland and NSW and Victoria are burning so we have it all as well. What we really need is the rain down this way it looks like it is on the way so fingers crossed. These are offical the worst fires in Austrlian recorded history. 750 homes gone and 108 lives lost at this stage.

    I heard about those Australian brush fires. Sucks and I'm sorry.
    Although the Texan weather is about as crazy as a hormonal housewife, we thankfully never experience floods or brush fires.

    I think New York weather is crazy too. One day we have -3 degree Fahrenheit weather--and then two days later it's 50 degrees out! Goodbye snow.

    Erg. Heat. I hope all you litnetters on the east coast are keeping safe, and your families too . It's blinking hot here on the west too (we're getting easterly breezes carrying over the heat from over there!) and I had to wear my school jumper today, it was sooo hot!, but I had to due to the massive tear in my school dress!!

    erm, except for southeast Texas right? One of our plant was shutdown for over a week due to Hurricane Gustav.

    All good here sprinks. We have rain today - rain. There are still major problems here in NSW and in Victoria but fingers crossed the cool change will help
