warm again

It's friday, and it looked a little cool this morning so I took a jacket to work. Why???

Now, (late lunch time) it is about 35d outside, and a very dry heat.

because of the dry/hot/wind, there is now a total "fire ban" in the Greater Syndey area:

Warning: A Fire Weather Warning for Very High to Extreme Fire danger. A Total Fire Ban is current. Refer to Fire Weather Warning for the latest Rural Fire Service Total Fire Ban information.

Total Fire Ban Rules


During a Total Fire Ban no fire may be lit in the open. Fire permits are suspended during a Total Fire Ban. This includes incinerators and barbecues which burn solid fuel, e.g. wood or charcoal.

You may use a gas or electric barbeque, but only if:

  • it is on a residential property within 20m of the house or dwelling
  • if it is a picnic area and the appliance is approved by council, National Park or State Forest
  • it is under the direct control of an adult
  • the ground within 2m of the barbecue is cleared of all materials which could burn
  • you have an immediate and continuous supply of water available.
