Too Hot for Lizards


41 (105.8F) Hot degrees today...

Yesterday was 39C (102.2F)

This little gecko must have thought he found a nice cool spot...



He or she was quite happy for me to take some pictures...






The fiery sky at day's end yesterday...

There is a bush fire burning in the nearby ranges, hopefully there are no strong hot winds today, although I think they are predicted...

The good news is that there will be a cool change tomorrow...

  2. It gets way hotter than this Cathy, especially when Summer hits. January, February and March can get temperatures in the high 40's for days on end! It is breaking us in slowly :)

  9. We're sitting in an air-conditioned classroom that we swapped to because the 30C day was too hot for the classroom we're normally in.
    Obviously we're a pack of wimps...

  11. You don't get the humidity much there do you? I can handle hot weather but the humidity knocks me around.

  12. It's about 34C here and we have high winds today. The country is still quite green but there is a fair bit of fuel about so I hope no fires start. Sorry, I don't envy you up there...

  18. Oh I remember those hot, hot days of summer all to well. Thankfully, those have passed and we are now experiencing cooler days of fall. It will start getting cold the first of December and then when January hits, really cold.

    When we lived in Darwin we hd lots of geckos and they had so much character and fun to watch.
