Yep, we finally hit 45. At least the humidity is low.

Only 0.3 degrees away from the record high.

Aaaaand it's snowing in Southampton. Which almost certainly means a record low here.

Craxy.

Final record for the day in Sydney city was 45.8, everywhere else in Sydney also shattered the record.

Then a huge cool change is coming over, with 65km/h winds and rain. Down to about 35 now (at 20:00), and it's quite humid.

Integral retard?

There was fires in the outer suburbs, and the asphalt was melting.

Well tbh, I'm going to leave work soon, otherwise SouthEastern (worst train operator ever) will probably have cancelled my trains by the time I want to leave...

Worse yet, you won't be able to get back later.

Sound advice as it was on SE that a large group of people got stuck all night in this sort of weather last year....

UK, day 95: It's started to snow! -1 Celsius and just a few centimetres of snow in Southampton later, havoc ensues, and everything screeches to a massive halt xD . University courses are cancelled due to the "extreme weather conditions", and the "University’s Crisis Management Committee" decides to evacuate all univeristy premises at Friday 1 PM and keep the whole university closed during the weekend because of the "risks" this might otherwise pose to the students and staff. Cars slide back down hills or skid in circles, and public transport is suffering (I've been told that a few years ago, a lack of preventive measures was blamed on it being "the wrong type of snow" xD).

Maybe now I'll finally do some writing for my quarterly report instead of being in the lab all the time .

Welcome to the absurdity that is Britain's inability to cope with 'severe' weather!


Also, this is the amount of snow that is bringing London to its knees...
