I cooked a whole hog on the hottest day of the decade. The heat index that day was around 130*F. I walked outside my front door at 4:00 am to start the fire and immedietly started sweating like I had just jogged a mile and the heat only got worse as the day went on.

I hope I never have to do anything like that again! It sucked.

Here is a pic taken just after the sun came up.

My sis lives in Sydney and has just been spending the days in the water. Head out to Bondi or Coogi.

Sizzlin'!! Over the summer I did a cook when in the triple digits and I much prefer to cook in the winter now. Its easier to stay warm than to stay cool!

Not if you got a good pair of shades, man!

Australia adds new colour to temperature maps as heat soars

Forecast temperatures are so extreme that the Bureau of Meteorology has had to add a new colour to its scale.

Hey isn't TX that small U.S. state that can fit into a number of our Northern Territory cattle station?
The heat in Sydney is a humid heat. Today is likely to be the third highest on record.
This evening I will be BBQing a marinated boned leg of lamb so I am not wimping it out altogether.
Great sharing the responses - lots of fun for a new member.
