we've gained 40 minutes of daylight since the winter solstice and we
have 5 more hours to gain before the summer solstice.

Can't we stop somewhere in between? I don't like long nights or long
days. I think I need to move to Hawaii ASAP.

Care to swap hemispheres for a week? The next four days down here are
going to be over 100 degrees (tomorrow's 106).

Why does the second half of summer always feel hotter than the first?

Whereabouts are you Horry? We've just had a week of those temps here. It's
supposed to be high 30s this week I think, but not up over 40 again.
Penrith has had the highest temp in the state several times this month I
think - definitely on Saturday when it was 42C or so. And the humidity is a
killer.

I'm in Adelaide.

Tuesday Dry. Very hot. Min 23 Max 41
Wednesday Dry. Very hot. Min 25 Max 41
Thursday Dry. Very hot. Min 27 Max 41
Friday Dry. Very hot. Min 23 Max 39

But not as bad as March last year...

"In March 2008, Adelaide, South Australia experienced maximum
temperatures of above 35 °C (95 °F) for fifteen consecutive days, seven
days more than the previous longest stretch of 35 °C (95 °F) days. The
March 2008 heat wave also included eleven consecutive days above 38 °C
(100 °F)."

But there's nothing like those long soft summer evenings. Of course
the blasted birds at 04:30 in the morning are another matter.

About the same here in Chicawgo...

And I don't mind the cold one bit, things are quieter and it keeps a lot of
the riff - raff off of the streets...

Where do the birds go when it's cold (the ones that don't migrate), haven't
seen many hanging about lately...I guess they are snuggled in their nests or
something.
