What did you use to measure that ? Seems ridiculous, did you do it over the sand ? Cause that would increase the temp a lot near to the ground, also the highest recorded temp in aus is 50.7 c

the one at the beach was just on a chair sitting in the sun using a cheap themometer
it was not the acctual temperature but it was very hot
the one by the pub was recorded by the gear bureao meterology set up
they have to read it each day and send though the data
that one was taken in the shade like it should be
if u just google australias highest temp then u wont find it
it was recorded by a tiny station in the middle of nowhere
maximum 50 people would have gone though that area

Just for the record, temps are measured in the shade (not directed at you fowler)
Also just for the record, Christmas day in Sydney was the wettest Christmas day in 70 years

We were fine on Christmas, not much rain but a little overcast.

Where abouts? Ruapehu? Pretty uncommon to to see any snow in the NI any time of year. Ruapehu and Egmont see a bit of snow. Although being over 2500m up does help.

Not that unusual for this time of year but, it is a bit excessive...

We've been lucky on that front, 2 four hour blackouts a little over 24 hours apart but, I do feel for those who've been without power for more than 48 hours...

Yea that's not too bad, it'll drive me crazy if it goes on much longer than this. A friend of mine less than 5 mins down the road never even lost power, so hopefully it's nothing major stopping ours from coming back on.
On the plus side the uni's shut so I've got a day off and there's no large boats on our beaches haha

You guys are lucky. Google "Load Shedding South Africa". We have had this for ages, and it is supposed to go on for another 2 years.
We get our power cut for 2 hours each day, sometimes twice a day depending on how much power needs to be conserved. The worst is when it is at night. I have a 950W generator though, so i can power a couple of lights, my TV and satelite decoder
