    We havent even had a summer this year The hottest it has been this summer is around 32. I miss the old summers where is was 35+ every single day. We haven't had a good summer in years.

    I think we are fairly lucky considering, as already mentioned we've had virtually no summer this year so it was bound to happen.

    The past few years all the weather patterns appear to be bought forward

    geeze, i dont know, you guy's need to harden up a bit. go take some cement power and drink water.

    sounds like a nice summer typical of brisbane that you are getting.

    lap it up, the beach is a wonderfull thing.

    Its not just a record for March, 9 days in a row over 35 degrees and another 8 or so days to go up around 38-40 degrees. Hottest heat wave on record for any time of the year.

    10 days in a row today. Thats longer than the previous heat wave records ever recorded not only in Adelaide but ANY capital city.... Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Hobart, Brisbane or Darwin. And we still have another week to go!
