Well, you guys and your cold temperatures. The brass monkey is quite safe outside tonight. We are, however, in a cooling trend.
It's darn near sweater weather, I'm thinking.

41c is very similar to our African summer weather Sir Tom and I think you know that some parts in the country here move beyond 50C
We have just , or are trying to say good bye to winter, but it's a battle for supremacy down at the southern tip of the continent.
Up north they are in the late 20s and early 30s already.
We got to 50C a couple of days this summer, which is normal for us. What was abnormal was the pure number of days 43 or higher (our 110f). Phoenix doubled their previous record to something over 40 days. It was a long grind this year.
Much of North America is cooling now, and we have snowbirds arriving regularly (people that winter here and summer in the north). Soon there will be way too many people here and I'll be praying for the hot weather to return. I'm never satisfied :)
Yes, so you guys are also striking records with the strange weather patterns Sir Tom.
2019 was our hottest year on record. They have not done 2020s records yet, only in January again.
People have learned from the examples set by the birds to migrate to warmer areas in the winter lol. Our summer December is around the corner and then there is no parking open at the beaches again, They also swamp this place.
So, I feel for you with all of the people around!
Sam and I had our second 'come now' session of the fall. When there is a high speed desert vehicle in the near neighborhood I want him right by me. Many of those guys drive like they are in the Baja 1000 and I don't want Sam hit. He remembered perfectly from the spring...
Lines. Soon there will be lines everywhere. Sigh.
I apologize, as I have missed this one totally Sir Tom!
Sam? Yes, a sad day when the cowboy racers arrive. People just have no respect for life when they are out to impress others.
I also hate long lines and the standing around feeling helpless, a real tedious situation.
It's pretty easy to identify them right now. They are the ones that leave their rigs (often dually diesels) running while they are in the grocery store so the air conditioner can keep them nice and cool.
Some of them have a horrible sense of entitlement, and to be fair, some of the locals have the same but opposite feeling of entitlement. It's just survival time. But at least the weather is nice :)
Well if they dared to leave them running here, that rig will disappear at a wink of eye lol.
That word entitlement is pure poison Sir Tom.
But you are right about the survival time and just do what you can lol.
Sweater weather...You sound like my granddad - Loved the hear and at 41C would be saying, hmm, it close to perfect, but another few degrees would be nice... He did it to annoy people. It worked.
