Mende - remember that Windows weather widget I was telling you about ? I then asked you a few times if the weather for your hometown was accurate?

Now that you have a heatwave; I noticed it in the widget before I saw this thread, and was once again curious if it's accurate this time. Remember it was rather off a bit when we compared notes last in months past ? Well right now, it is saying 90 F for Melbourne at 1:30 am my time, but noticed earlier today it read 109 F !

Yeeow I don't blame you on mourning the A/C breakdown, I hope you can get it fixed soon next week ! As far as the widget, 109 F sounds like about what you said - up to 110 ! Holy cooked cow ! Worse yet - newer black asphalt street paving especially will get over 140-160 degrees at ground temp on a hot day like that, so I hope we don't hear that you got 'stuck' by your melting tennies out on the road ! OOH NOOO I'm MELLLTTIIiing. !

This next ort I mention only cause I thought it was funny - my Dad, right after marrying, drove across Death Valley, Calif, where temperatures like yours and higher are common. His jalopy, their first car, back then A/C was not on the options list lol. So dad figures: buy a block of dry ice ( -250 F), put it on the bench seat up front between them, and blow air over it with a 12V fan ! McGyver'ed A/C ! Just ...don't touch the frozen block ! They made it to Colorado in (relative) coool comfort !

Hope you can cool off soon !
