I've learned to translate very quickly  The good ole' USA seems stuck on the archaic F system... and I am finding the C is a whole lot easier!!
What percent it your humidity? When I visit my family in souther Texas I have no problems with 110F heat as long as the humidity is under 40%... anything above that is miserable no matter where you are.................... |

Humidity is low, but 110 is hot... very hot for us. in the desert, 40 is not so bad, so dry, 0% but it's going to be hot, and cooking over a bbq  searching for a gas or electric bbq atm, cos ppl are bringing over meat... don't wanna be using fry pans!

110 with no humidity is a luxury for A guy who is used to snow and ice 7 months a year our summers get about 28 - 30 c tops........... and maybe for 2-3 weeks.
How bout I DHL you a box o snow for your troubles????? PS (a George foreman grille is wonderful for electric bbq) |

yup, got one of them... might find it hard feeding 15 - 20 though I've got a single person one too, could feed 5 ppl at a time...
A whole box? That'd be great, I've never seen so much snow (seriously) except from a very big distance, capping mountains. Our summers are nice and 25-30 for only a few weeks too, then this damnably infernal weather comes on. I much prefer last weeks rain

Is raining here - but at least I can use my BBQ. Am doing marinated lamb roasts in the webber (one mustard and herb - bought like that, and the other rosemary, thyme and garlic from the garden). Am also puting 1 or 2 small kangaroo roasts in the webber also. These are bought marinated. Will cook sausages on the gas BBQ for the hoards of kids. |

work topped out at 48c the other day, i suspect it would have been 50c but there was a small wind chill factor. you know it's hot when the flies can't take it, they haven't been too bad for the last week after that hot day, i suspect the heat killed them. |

Quadcam, that's close enough, it's actually 5/9(f - 32) where f is degrees fahrenheit or 9/5c + 32 of course |
