Hotel garden in Broome, Australia - 2012
The temperature/heat index here yesterday when I checked around 2 PM,
was again 100F. The entire week ahead will remain
in the high 90's with little if any rain.
It's complicated, the way the weather guys give temperature readings these
days! But of course nothing stays the same anymore - there's always a new
way to do everything. Even my long gone parents used to say that, so I guess it's
just something that occurs with each decade.
Oh yes, about the heat. Thinking back, I felt the most uncomfortable and overheated
in two particular places in the world - Singapore and Western Australia.

Singapore, amazing in many ways, but probably the most hot and humid place

Western Australia? Talk about hot, hotter than hot, the driest
hot ever. . . . . . . I thought I was going to die in the Northern Territory, especially
on the days spent adventuring in Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land.

But, wouldn't have missed visiting such an interesting place and
learning so much about the landscape and the Aborigines, Australia's
indigenous people who have lived there over 30,000 years.
Edited: I see it's 107F in Death Valley, California today, but will reach 114F on Monday.
The hottest place in the USA. Yes, I was also very hot there on a visit some years back.
