Does people putting pictures of car thermometer readings on social media and then presuming its the actual temperature annoy anyone else?
Thing is my car gives the right temp after its been driving for a bit. If people take the photo before they drive then the temp is inaccurate. The car will always be hotter than the temp when its been idle for all that time.
Yep, totally annoying and goes to show how out of touch with reality many people are. I saw a fb friend claim that it was 55C in Adelaide yesterday.

Home- "Shepherd's Bush" at Mt Macedon. 870m
Work- "Bolobek" at Macedon. 430m
That wind is really howling here with some house rattling gusts at times, makes me a little worried about the tinder
dry bushland and paddocks just 3 streets away.
33c here and a DP of 17c, so not overly dry. But the wind is gusty, generally in the 25 to 35 km/h range. Minimum last night was 29.8c. Way too warm - will be glad when it’s over!

Just came back from walking the dog in that disgusting windy crap. Thank god for the vegetation along the creek, which provided some wind breaks for us.
Time to start praying that no fires get going in these conditions.
Caroline Springs, Melbourne's meteorological boredom zone.
Wind has dropped right away here. This is a typical pattern on these days in the Dandenongs. Temperature is 32.5C with a DP of 17C. Feels like we should get a storm (maybe a chance if the 850T wasn't 27C ).
Wind change is on the surf coast now. Perhaps an hour from hitting the bottom of the bay.
38.6c here, which is the highest so far today, along with a DP of 17c. The air is getting drier, as expected, but not crazily dry. Wind is averaging around 30km/h and gusty, with a maximum gust so far of 53km/h. Awful conditions, to say the least.
