Dear Monica You invoke us to stay warm but many of your Australian colleagues are doing their utmost to stay cool as we battle temperatures in the mid -40s (113+F) for about the 5th day in a row! There will be a cool change maybe Sunday that will bring temps down to 38 (100F) but then back up again. Where I am, in the mountains, it has been constantly around 38 (100F) but, unlike our city cousins, we are not equipped with aircon and so forth because such extremes are so rare they are record-breaking. Many schools do not have aircon either and this week is the kids' first of the new academic year! We watch the news reports of severe storms and snow in the northern hemisphere with envy. Perhaps there is an investigation in there somewhere - why are different parts of the planet having such extremes at the same time? Is it global warming or a rare but natural phenomenon? Is it action and reaction?
