Australia can become very hot, less so in southern Australia where I live, but I have experienced a day of 44 degrees in I think 2009. The hot northerly wind comes in, blowing very hot air from central Australia to the south, even to our island state, Tasmania, in the extreme south. Generally the very high temperatures don't come with humidity. It is a hot dry wind.
The melting thongs in this clip are a slight exaggeration, but I've certainly walked on asphalt that had become sticky in the heat. I've experienced all the rest.

We can and do get hot. We have had humid heat this week and while it is not as hot here as some places I have been a sad, sorry and grumpy mess.
ReplyDeleteOoh.. I certainly wouldn't want my thongs to melt when wearing them. Oh, you mean your thongs are footwear?
ReplyDeleteI had to google 44 and that is hot! We get hot and very humid here and it's miserable. Melting thongs? Not yet anyway, neither kind.
ReplyDeleteI am hiding in the house most time until sunset. But rain is coming our way
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling from Summers in California!
ReplyDeleteIt has certainly been a hot humid start to summer. Remember running from sprinkler to sprinkler across front lawns to cool the bare feet on the pavement?
ReplyDeleteI recall many years ago on a trip to Adelaide when the streets in the city had board walks across as the bitumen had melted and your shoes stuck to it. Annoying and funny.
ReplyDeleteGod it was hot, the hotel swimming pool was jammed and the bars at the pool did a roaring trade!.

I'm glad I don't wear thongs. Sounds like more stickiness than I could bear (or bare?)!
