When will this heatwave stop?
I just wish that this damn heatwave will stop, especially the high temps at night...ugh!
Adelaide sets another heatwave record wrote:
March 14, 2008 03:24pm
ADELAIDE has set another heatwave record as firefighters remain fearful a bushfire south of the city could break containment lines.
More than 200 firefighters contained a blaze near Willunga which started yesterday afternoon, but authorities are concerned a potential wind change later today could spread the fire.
The blazes came after Adelaide recorded its hottest March night in history, with an overnight minimum temperature of 30.2 degrees(86F).
The city's forecast maximum of 40 degrees today is the 12th consecutive day of temperatures above 35(95F) degrees - the longest heatwave ever in any Australian capital city.
Nine firefighters suffered minor injuries in battling the Willunga fire, which has burnt about 150 hectares of scrubland and gutted one house. The Country Fire Service (CFS) said the fire was contained and firefighters were working to consolidate a 10km perimeter around the blaze.
Adelaide's heatwave is predicted to continue with temperatures around 38(100F) degrees until next Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Sports Medicine Australia urged sporting organisations to cancel all training and competition until the heatwave ended.
The heatwave is expected to last until Wednesday.

We're already starting to go back into the 80s in FL. I miss the 40s. D:
I do remember though, when I went to Chicago in early January, two days were oddly warm.

Re: When will this heatwave stop?
Amusingly enough, according to NASA this has been the coldest winter in 14 years, worldwide.
But apparently in lots of places, my country included, it's been oddly warm. Funny how averages work...

I wish it was warm here. Luckily, it's currently teasing into the 40's (F). I'm expecting one more round of snow though. Stupid Michigan.

What are you talking about? You're getting the same 90 degree weather I'm getting. 
Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to and nobody else
Knows how to comfort me tonight.

I take it you actually like the hot weather... how about we swap, your cold weather for our heatwave, does that sound good?

Are we talking 0 degrees C or 0 degrees F?
0C = 32F
0F = -18C
Its best to always mention if you are talking in C or F as different countries use one or the other.
In Australia we use the C (Centigrade or Celcius)

Sadly, it seems I cannot trade, as it was actually the same temperature earlier.
But when it inevitably gets cooler, you're more than welcome to trade.

Re: When will this heatwave stop?
I need the warmth! It doesn't snow, so it doesn't deserve to be cold.
sometimes you make me feel
like I’m living at the edge of the world
"it's just the way I smile"

Re: When will this heatwave stop?
If it makes you guys feel better, I live in Minnesota. We're just now cracking forty Fahrenheit, after like 4 months of colder weather, generally much colder (we got that colder winter Lightice was talking about). A good month or so we were hovering around zero Fahrenheit. Anyways, I love our winters, and I've missed them in recent years with all the warming weirdness, but after 6 months it's time for a change.
