after the hottest January on record in Australia, everything burns to a crisp, think this is a native lavender?
dehydration can lead to the brain malfunctioning.
not just being tired and fainting.
proper mental fuckery i mean.
it starts with you doing silly things, but it can go so far as seeing things that arent there.
i grew up in the desert. 8 months out of the year, a 45C day was just tuesday.
wednesday was the same and thursday too.
the weatherman had the easiest job in that country.
we are bags of mostly water so, get your water in. it's common sense.
it's sad to see the folk in this temperate zone here not understand what a little H2O deficit can do to you.
the world is not going to get any cooler in our life times. at best it'll stay like this.
get your water in. stay in the shade, wear light colour clothing, change your schedule, be lazy during the day, do more at night.
it really is as simple as that.
This is what happens in Scotland when we get a Spanish heatwave. I have to say the phenonemon only hung about for 5 minutes so I had to get my drone up pretty quick. Hope you like the results.
An alternate shot, better showing Reverse Flash with Boba Fett’s arms and Heatwave with his helmet. Check the other picture for Heatwave unmasked, Reverse Flash from the front, along with a new Captain Cold.
this image was taken at sunset the evening before one of the worst heatwaves Queensland has experienced. Temperatures soared to 40c plus over much of the state. Looks more like Mars than Earth. The image was taken on the beach at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast.

A bank holiday weekend - with sunshine! - and some freight workings!!!
Double win.
Having chased the outbound Alumina around the B&T system earlier, I returned to Winning to pick up a shot I've wanted to do for some time, an inbound coal working to Battleship Wharf in the morning with the sun in the right place.
Everything worked to perfection with 66716 passing the 1895 built NER Type one box and the fine array of semaphore signals guarding Winning Crossing and Junction, in full sunshine.

This summer, heatwaves struck Europe, North Africa, the US and Asia with temperatures reaching over 40°C in places – breaking many long-standing records. Images from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission show the scale of Britain’s heatwave as it baked in extreme temperatures in August.
The image, captured on 12 August 2022, shows the United Kingdom’s previously green land appear brown (particularly in the southeast) amid the scorching conditions. The heatwave comes after months of extreme temperatures and low rainfall left the landscape parched. The dry conditions are also visible in parts of France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The severe heatwaves experienced across Europe this summer are a harsh reminder of what is in store for our future. Extreme weather events will happen more frequently and intensely according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This trend is set to worsen unless the rise in atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activities is addressed.
Satellites orbiting our planet play an important role in delivering data to understand and monitor how our world is changing. Their observations and data are critical for improving model predictions of our future climate, mitigation strategies and policymaking.
The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission not only provides two-day global coverage optical data, but it also carries a Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer instrument that measures Earth’s land surface temperature (how hot the actual surface would feel to touch). During August 2022, the Sentinel-3 mission recorded extreme land surface temperatures of more than 45°C in the United Kingdom, 50°C in France and 60°C in Spain.
Sentinel-3 data has also been merged with archived satellite observations to form a recently released 25-year record of global land surface temperatures (from 1995 to 2020) developed by ESA’s Climate Change Initiative along with Europe’s leading climate scientists. This data record shows a stable increase in global land surface temperature of 0.2°C per decade, with strong regional variability.
Monitoring land-surface temperatures is useful for scientists because the warmth rising from Earth’s surface influences weather and climate patterns. These measurements are particularly important for farmers evaluating how much water their crops need and for urban planners looking to improve heat-mitigating strategies.

Taken with a Yashica Samurai 4000iX camera which uses the now obsolete APS film. The film here is extremely expired and poorly stored (room temperature for several years including the heatwave of 2022). This Truprint branded film was the only APS I had available at the time, it is ISO 200 40 exposures. Unlike with 35mm film, it's not practical to shoot a few test frames then develop them, so I had to use all 40 exposures not knowing whether there would be anything to show for it. As expected, the results are dire from a technical viewpoint, but have a certain "charm".
UPDATE - it dawned on me that the negatives might be dense because the bleach component of the blix had become exhaused, so I had unintentionally used the "bleach bypass" technique.
India is currently facing a prolonged heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 42°C in numerous cities across the country. This comes just weeks after India recorded its hottest March since the country’s meteorological department began its records over 120 years ago. This image, produced using data from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission, shows the land surface temperature across most of the nation.
According to the India Meteorological Department, maximum air temperatures reached 43-46°C over most parts of Rajasthan, Vidarbha, Madhya Pradesh and East Uttar Pradesh; in many parts over Gujarat, interior Odisha; and in some parts of Madhya Maharashtra on 28 April. Forecasters warned that heatwave conditions are expected to continue until 2 May.
Experts at the Indian Institute of Technology’s Water and Climate Lab stated that, in recent years, the number of Indian states hit by heatwaves has increased, as extreme temperatures become more frequent.
Owing to the absence of cloud cover on 29 April (10:30 local time), the Sentinel-3 mission was able to obtain an accurate measurement of the land surface temperature of the ground, which exceeded 60°C in several areas. The data shows that surface temperature in Jaipur and Ahmedabad reached 47°C, while the hottest temperatures recorded are southeast and southwest of Ahmedabad (visible in deep red) with maximum land surface temperatures of around 65°C.
The map was generated by using the mission’s Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer instrument. While weather forecasts use predicted air temperatures, this satellite instrument measures the real amount of energy radiating from Earth. Therefore, the map shows the actual temperature of the land’s surface pictured here, which is usually significantly hotter than air temperatures.
Sentinel-3 can monitor wildfires, map the way the land is used, provide indices of vegetation state, as well as measure the temperature, colour and height of the sea surface. For more information on the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission, click here.

We have had unseaasonable weather all summer. It seemed that autumn was beginning to arrive here in Maine--some trees beginning to trun. Now today the temp is way up and it feels uncomfortable. You can see what I mean:))
Hmmm. Something about this one seems a tad familiar. I wonder, what could it be?
Yeah, Kinda made him look a little like my white Mr Freeze. Okay, maybe more than a little. I was gonna have him in a hood, but then I found the cape and thought I'd go for this look.
Lemme know what you think :D
Jessie having some fun on his longboard this morning!

LNER Class A4 60009 "Union of South Africa" departs Ramsbottom on a very hot day, hence no exhaust,The A4 is working the 0915 Bury Bolton Street - Rawtenstall on 30/05/2021
Aurora stays cool and collected even in the hottest summer weather! She loves her new short hairdo...so much cooler in the heat!!
Happy Friday all!! 💙💙💙
