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
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 :-/
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.

Bloody hell. Poor Adelaide.
It is quite frankly, bizarre.
