Yeah, Christmas Day was about that but Boxing Day was the one that broke all the records. Dogs and cats were dying with the heat too. Horrid day. Thankfully, the heat dropped significantly today and the sea breeze came in after lunch, and surprisingly enough, it made it all the way out to the foothills, which is where I am. But Cath, please feel free to take the heat from my place anytime you like!!!! LOL 17C is very cold for Christmas though even in Tasmania!!
We have been on water restrictions for several years, and they have been the same ever since they were introduced, so we have not had to go thru the same problems you guys on the EC had last year and now that we have a desalination plant with a second on the way, we are unlikely to in the near future either. Dams are low but not unreasonably so. It was only a few years ago that Mundaring Dam (Perth's main source) was over-flowing.
