  1. Is it hot right now for the #melbournecup ? Hell yeah!
    We measured 34.5C at 2.30pm in #Fawkner .
    “Today's maximum temperature so far is 32.7°C, and the minimum overnight was 15°C. The average of the two is 23.85 °C , which is hotter than 98% of daily average temperatures at Melbourne (Laverton) for this time of year over the period 1943–2021. The really hot and cold days (top and bottom 5%, respectively) are outside the dotted lines.”

    FYI for overseas people, the Melbourne Cup is an annual horse race, run over 3.2kms, being famous as the 2 mile race. It's currently just on 30C/86F, with thunderstorms due at the time of the race.
    7 horses have died during this race in the past 9 years.
    It needs to stop.
