I seem to suffer from heat exhaustion/exposure really easily, so I can’t be out in the sun for more than a couple of hours at a time without suffering later on…Even with sunscreen, hats etc. Plus, if we were still at our house at Norah Head, you’d get heat exhaustion from being inside - worst house, ever.

I’m much better off over here, for sure!

The lack of humidity and cloud cover made today not so bad, having the last week of high temps was good prep for sure but a few things today were strange:

Normally the temp drops around 10?C between Bulli Tops and Thirroul (300m elevation drop in 5min) but not today - it stayed a consistant 38?C

Leaving the doors of the restaurant closed is not normal but did today. We are the bottom floor of a big building and the slab it all sits on stayed well below the outside temp - even in the kitchen.

One a/c unit doesn’t have a drain so we collect water in a bucket and have to keep close eye so it doesn’t overflow, usually empty it twice in a shift - not tonight it only filled 1/3 and it was a long shift.

Leaving work at 11.30pm it was 29?C normally it cools as I head west away from the ocean. Right now 12.30am it’s 34?C at home. So glad I left the a/c on in the shack.
