What's the temperature where you are???

Extremes anywhere are hard. Hopefully this year your hell months won’t last so long.

And guess fans would be useless. Have you tried evaporative coolers? I bought one last summer, but our summer turned very steamy and humid so it was useless. But when the humidity was low it worked fine.
They work here until we need them the most, then the humidity overwhelms them and you get a sauna. Not ideal for midsummer in the desert.
 
Wednesday 26th of March 8.05a.m. another muggy, overcast day. Drizzle o'nite 1.8mm, 3.7 / 3.7kph NNE, Hg 70%, 23C / 73.9F top of 26C / 79F. Partly cloudy.

Moon is 12% ... 9 days good fishing, but the wind is missing.

More rain forecast as outback Queensland's record drenching cuts off towns​

Records are tumbling as drenching rain continues in outback and north Queensland, leaving roads closed and inland residents stranded.

There was flooding on Tuesday in the Quilpie shire, the Channel Country recording its wettest March day in 15 years with 130 millimetres by 9am and several towns were cut off.

The Bureau of Meteorology says the heavy rain could hit south-east Queensland on the weekend, but it is too soon to be certain.

The BOM is monitoring several flood watches and warnings throughout Queensland, including a major flood warning for the Bulloo River and Georgina River.

A severe weather warning for heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding is in place for people in Queensland's north and central west as well as the Channel Country, the Maranoa and Warrego and a small area of the Northern Goldfields and Upper Flinders.

The BOM is forecasting six-hourly rainfall totals of 30 to 60 millimetres and isolated falls of up to 120 millimetres, which follows record-breaking rain on Tuesday.

The Channel Country constitutes some of the most distinctive landscape in Australia: wide open flat alluvial terrain that is essentially desert that floods after heavy rainfall. An estimated 280,000 sq km, it covers the south-west of Queensland, a birth of the north-west corner of South Australia, and a small section in the north-west of New South Wales. Its name is derived from the many intertwined channels and rivers that cut over the vast floodplains during the times of high water; Cooper Creek, the Diamantina, Barcoo and Thomson rivers and their multiple shallow channels make up the main waterways. Intricately connected to this unique geography is a fascinating history as a pre-historic sea, and subsequently precious land to Aboriginal people and European pastoralists.
