Default A little bit warm today

Out for a drive today, was wondering why the air con in the 850 didn't seem to be working as good as it usually does. I think my temp display tells the story. Had to pull over to get a picture of it!



46C is 114.8F for those in the US.......it is now 1.00am and still 31C (87.8F)

We broke another record yesterday, 82* F. I'm kinda getting afraid of what it will be like in 2 months.

Was driving on the freeway a week ago and had to update the thread. Now we have hit the other extreme LOL.

And sorry for the sideways pic.

Is that normal for Australian winters?

Strange, LOL. I thought these posts were recent.

Yes, Rob - we got some record-breakers too. Tomorrow is supposed to be the hottest day in NYC for this year, and is only early July.

Ironically the coolest place tomorrow it'll be in the Volvo.
