Sunset Beauty - telling the tale of a hot day to come

It's been quite a hot summer in many parts of Southern Australia and we are no exception. This sunset told of the hot day to come, it got to about 48 degrees after this one.

We've had a few 47/48's this summer, several 45/46's and more days over 40 than we've had in years.

Had a really hot day a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the tractor gauge said the outside temperature was 48 degrees! I took the kids into town, closer to the beach, to avoid the day.

We have had 48 before but it's certainly not very year, we generally get a day or two of 46 degrees each summer though.

 This was the sunset the evening before.

We vacated on Christmas Day too. It was 42 in the shade at the farm, but much more enjoyable closer to the coast.
