Whew

After a high temperature of 33°C yesterday (the 7th in a row above 32°C), a much-anticipated cold front came through overnight (as predicted). It's now 18°C. But:

Indications are that the air mass will begin to moderate Sunday, with another warmer-than-normal period a good part of next week. This time around, daily highs should approach the 27°C mark.

Rain looks to be sparse at least until the middle of next week.

That last bit is important, because we're having a drought. But at least it's delightfully cool.
