It is quite frankly, bizarre.

Bloody hell. Poor Adelaide.

From Adelaide's hottest summer on record and an average temp of 36 C for the past 30 days, to our wettest day in nearly 50 years (70 odd mm of rain).  Most of the city and surrounding suburbs are starting to flood.

*builds ark*

One of the first things I bought for the new studio.... aircon.  The space actually stays cool for half the day without ac until the sun gets closer to the ocean.  Gear definitely prefers to be in comfortable surrounds.  No reason to leave the studio during these heatwaves except for the odd scuba/snorkel/surf session.  Oh, and that annoying work thing that happens during the week days  :-/

Interesting that within the duration of this thread another mini-heatwave is now arriving in ADL - my gear is in non A/C rooms, and therefore macbook / outboard stuff always becomes VERY hot on 35C + days - I find I just can't find the impetus to power anything up in extreme heat - perhaps more reason to focus on acoustic sources and non sequencer based composition

Adelaide has now matched it's record of 12 summer days (thankfully, not consecutive) above 40 degrees, which was set in 1893.  It appears it's going to be broken as we've got a mid-week patch of 39-40-39 forecast. 

Though December was quite mild, since January it's been brutal and we've been lucky to have a day or two below 30 as respite.  Looking a little further ahead by a week it seems as though things are levelling out to 25-35 for the remainder of summer, which I can definitely live with.

Really looking forward to Autumn.

Happily swap with you, dAn.mE. At least Berlin has some culture...

All different in Berlin. Still damn cold here.. and unfortunately that can last till April. Either icy combined with an useless high amount of snow making things complicated in town or rain and wind which isn't much more pleasent... Can I Take your part?

It's pretty cold in sydney today, right now it's 19c

Weather here in Finland have been weird this winter. There was no winter before mid January. Then it dropped from +10c to -18c overnight. Now we got the normal wet snow weather. I have my studio in basement with wood stove heating. When it was -15c it was cold as hell. It took hours to get the room warm. My fingers literally froze when i was doing music.

I dunno, last year my partner and I came back on the 3rd of March to a week of really, really hot weather. That one where the BOM made a new colour for the centre of Australia.

I must admit that I'm enjoying the relative humidity we've been getting here.

It's around 0 degrees here but we actually have a clear blue sky so sitting cosy and warm inside and imagining it's actually spring outside is a pretty good inspiration-kickstarter.

To be honest though, it is the side of February more likely to be breaking the records. It cools down from here.

(Melb) I had to cut my track short because it was 40 million degrees in the studio. Only live performance should be an endurance test. Not composition!!!

What's depressing is that it's only the 3rd of Feb and we're already smashing records all around the place. Disturbing.
