So sorry to do this to everyone, but we've just heard what our Christmas weather is going to be :twisted: 28c and sunny, looks like a barbie, this year :lol:

Yes, but you forget to mention that you are on the same latitude as the Sahara, not London.

What are the temperatures at 52 S?

Not quite freak weather, but hot weather, over the next few days we're going to get 41c,42c, 31c, 36c, 42c' 43c, 45c, but Booborowie usually gets it a few degrees warmer than Adelaide, so on the hottest day we'll get about 47c, be nice to get me jumper off :twisted:

Way to warm for me! :shock: I'd be worried about my locos melting never mind anything else! I hope your railway collection is air-conditioned?

I don't worry about my locos in the shed, although it's 47c or so there in the shade, that makes a big difference, if they were behind glass and in direct sun, then I'd be worried, I do have an air conditioner in the railway room but I rarely use it.
