At about the time we stepped out of the air conditioned shopping centre yesterday to head to our air conditioned hotel room, it was a little over 42°C (108°F).

Come visit!

It's -12°C here, but supposedly feels like -19° with windchill. Tomorrow's supposed to be warmer than expected, with highs around -4°.

Please note that I am *not* complaining! :)

It's 13F here in Wyoming, which is almost -11 Celsius. But the air is very still, so you don't really notice the cold until your skin touches the inside of your super-chilled clothing.

It is -13 Celsius right now! :D

24F/-4C here. Wow. Almost hard to believe we're on the same planet right now, isn't it?

37°C here in my Study at the moment. It makes it so hard to study or work.

Because I am a poor, poor student. And Aircon seems to be very, very expensive no matter where you go.

This week in Adelaide, we get from Monday to Sunday over 40°, so... it's going to be exciting times. I just hope to survive.

I think the lowest temperature I have encountered in Australia has been about 6°-8° in the coldest winter, so it's not really surprising we get worried when the temperature threatens to become a single digit number!

We only own an a/c - for one room - because my parents insisted on buying it for us, bless them. The rest of the time it's fans and cold showers.

I am glad I'm not the only one in Australia suffering- I thought it was just me and a handful of students. I tent to visit a guy in the next flat quite a lot on hot days.

I was really hoping to make a "cool fan" joke there; but it didn't really come together.

I can. It doesn't take much Googling to find examples of the "heat or eat" / "cool or eat" phenomenon among poor Americans.

Try the Google search. There are plenty of poor Americans with somewhere to live and no money to heat or cool it.

Currently -14 C with a -22 C wind chill here in the Great White North...which is positively balmy, compared to where we were a week and a half ago.

38C when I arrived in Kalgoorlie yesterday afternoon - and the hotel swimming pool was MUCH hotter than the outside air. Defeated the point of going for a swim.
