Tuesday in Perth was very hot - 42c according to various radio stations, but fortunately not as hot and HUMID as the previous day !
Lightening started as soon as it was dark and still going well with strong hot gusts and only a few spits of rain (typical wet day in Perth lol). Feel sorry for the firefighters inland from Mandurah (about an hour south of Perth) who are fighting at least 3 fires lit by a tosser with a box of matches or lighter. The last thing these guys need is this sort of weather!
I think arsonists should be birched and then put out on public display for us to treat them like the human rubbish they are. So far in WA this summer, 5-6 innocent people have been burnt to death by these sub-humans

Gott'a agree with you on what to do with these low-life Fire Bugs Bruce,
As far as the Weather goes, "Crap" is how I would describe it at the moment,
Here it is 3.45 am ,haven't slept a wink , It's a still as anything, humidity running at 68%, present temp is 25C,
The Missis came running in earlier to say that it was raining, by the time I went out to see this rare event, the rain had all evaporated,
typical Perth weather

For those who think Ballarat is a cold & wet place have a look at the past 7 days. I just emptied 7mm and a drowned wasp out of my rain gauge. Yesterday was the coldest & wettest day for ages and I'll bet Ballarat was full of tourists who will go home and say "typical Ballarat weather".

Townsville......Hot. It is 30+ during the day and 20+ at night with high humidity all the time, every day, at the moment. Should start to settle by end of the month though all being equal. As a Mexican and just arrived it takes a bit of getting used to.
No complaints though.
