    Earlier in the week the temp was reported as about 34/35/36 degrees. A workmate said that when he got in his car at 2 pm to leave work it was registering as 41 degrees. This is next to the Logan motorway very close to the Logan Hospital. Meadowbrook. Now THAT is bloody hot. I’ve lived in Australia for thirty years and I swear this is the hottest spell I have ever encountered. I’ve even lived in Cairns for 13 months and I’m sure it was never this hot. I mean I’m sure I’ll be complaining of the cold mornings in a few months but right now one or two of those would be welcome.
    Well, I hope you all have a great Friday and a lovely long weekend. Cheers.

      If you park a dark coloured car in the sun and read the dash as soon as you turn the key on, you can get some pretty sweet numbers for a Facebook post.

      Greenbank was this hot over the past week:
