          G'day gang,
          it was 40.6* C in my shed at work at eleven AM yesterday and topped out at 41.5. It was still 37* at eight PM last night.
          Today, it only reached 39.8*C but was helped by 89% humidity.
          Last Tuesday I managed to get two flights in with a temp of around 39* before a thunderstorm chased us home around ten AM.
          I say, roll on winter. Mind you, our winter days are usually around the 19/20*C mark but we can get the minus one or two overnight. For us that is as cold as it gets.
          Regards and respect
          Daryl

            Wrongroad............It's always interesting to be reminded by non US participants on this forum how far behind the international standard the US is regarding the Celsius and Metric scale.
            In the case of your posting I had to look up what 41.5C was and oh my.........106.7F...........that is just freakin stupid hot :Sick2:;)

            Interesting fact:
            The US is one of 5 countries that still uses Farenheit and it is one of 3 countries that doesn't use the metric scale.

              Then there's us who were the generation that they converted with in Canada. Ask me if I'm a little screwed up because of itLOL
              Then throw in the fact that there was an Imperial gallon and a US gallon and a liter was almost a quart:Silly:

                          If it was nice out, we would want to be flying instead of working on the big projects in the shop. So get back in there and get to workLOL. Spring will be here some day:Silly:.

                                    Yep, 1 -1/2 hrs north of you and it's been nothing but great weather, little rain here and there and with this new day light savings time, I get home in time to grab a few flights in as well, of course I have a runway right across the street in front of my house, so I just charge, fly, charge, fly, charge again and last flight at dusk...............!!!!!
                                    So glad I hate the snow.................:)
