We've been hit with another heat wave lately.
Last night I checked the barometer and at 11pm it was 32 degree Celsius (89.6 degree Fahrenheit) with a humidity of 75%.
The humidity is the killer. That's bad enough during the day but how are you supposed to sleep in that crap?
I realize that some of you may be freezing your balls off but as I've always said, you can make yourself warmer a lot easier (clothing, blankets, fire, shared body heat, etc) than trying to cool down.
With water restrictions due to a drought that has ran for decades in most of this state, there isn't much you can do.
We don't have a swimming pool or air conditioner and you can only have so many showers in a day before looking like dried fruit.
We live in a very modest (cheap arse) Government house with thin fibro-cement walls and a flat tin roof. No insulation.
Its a sweat-box in summer and an icebox in winter.
It gives a greater appreciation to the homeless.
You never think about how they handle the heat, we only think of them during the cold.
