Did I see something about 47C in your part of the world?

@Thad E Ginathom Yep, heat index hitting 47C in some parts of the country, around my area too, with news that it is probably going to get worse over time. I don't think I'd mind a dry heat as much, but it's tropical humidity so the temps persist well after nightfall.

Yep, tropical humidity: it's worse at night!

Places inland of us have done so already, but we should be breaking the 40C barrier next week.

But ***47!*** I can't even imagine that.

I kinda hate to say it but we're getting used to this. But hey climate change is a natural process that human activity ABSOLUTELY hasn't exacerbated in recent centuries, eh?

Naah... *Nothing* to do with humans. Or fossil fuels. Or cows farting...

Nothing of any of that stuff.

No electronics for you! That is at the limit of many devices operational ambient temperature specifications! Stay cool when you can, be well.

So much for music at the desk! Portable audio it is (or: running my air conditioning more aggressively, sigh)

What temperature do you keep inside the house?

We have 26-28. My wife likes cooler, I like warmer.

I think our city's record is 43.something. Probably some corners might have been more. I doubt that our ACs would be effective at 47! And I hope it doesn't get tested.

I know some machines are rated up to 50.

@Thad E Ginathom forgot to reply, got distracted! My parents go for 16C and I target 24C, or 22C when it's much hotter out and I'm miserable from ambient temps. I had a chat with my parents recently about how setting too low a target and having the unit run in many short spurts actually ends up costing more in the long run. Our bill's been wth lately.

Can't understand people who set the AC to 16-18C at night... and then sleep under a thick duvet!
