Hot but not crazy hot

Cairns typically experiences a consistently high level of humidity during the summer, just like every other year.

Where are these false claims coming from? We rarely saw the sun this summer and recently experienced the coldest December day in two decades.

We're freaking lucky to live in a country with tons of resources and not have to sweat the heat. It's dope to have such cheap and solid power that we never have to stress about our energy going kaput!

The Weather Bureau seems to be relying on chance these days, as if flipping a coin. When I was young, I remember enjoying a consistent 42 days of summer. How things have changed! Nowadays, it seems like they're just trying to spread unnecessary fear.

How is it using the state? Surely cover would be a more fitting word.

No matter what, man! It's Oz, it's summer, it's scorching and sticky!.. been that way, always gonna be!!!

Wow, it's astonishing that it's been the hottest in 4 years! That's absolutely incredible!

Do you think they just added brisvegas to their coverage?

Just like my childhood back in the day, but without the air-conditioning.

I've experienced plenty of "heatwaves" similar to this in my life. It's incredible how weather can really take a toll on us!

Haha, summer must be here already!

I had the heater cranked up this morning, it was a freezing 14 degrees!

Yesterday was scorching, but today we're back to fall weather.

All those declaring it's just another summer day and welcoming the heat must be enjoying the comfort of air conditioning, ample fans, or are fortunate enough to have access to a pool or beach. Meanwhile, others are enduring the sweltering temperatures without any luxuries to keep them cool.

In Cairns, the summer is typically characterized by consistently high humidity, just like every other year.

The Weather Bureau's predictions now seem unreliable, unlike in my childhood when we could count on 42 summer days. It's all scare tactics now.

OMG, this is the hottest we've seen in 4 years, we're done for, we're done like dinner, let's get outta here, run like there's no tomorrow, run, run, run!

How is it devouring the state? Surely cover would be a more suitable term.

We're still waiting for summer to pop off... it's been mad cold, wet, and breezy. No wonder we can't trust the news no more. Let the sunshine come through, fam.

Incredible! The past 4 years have been the hottest!

They ran some tests on the sewerage and it turns out this summer is lit af, like the hottest in, like, forever - like 17,000 years type of forever.

Adelaide experienced its most frigid Christmas Day in 17 years. How amusing!
