Unseasonal Heat

It's August and it's hot! Now, that's really weird. The unseasonal heat we're experiencing is dreadful; and it's at a time when we should be feeling the remnants of the chilliness of Winter. However, instead, we're mothballing our Winter Woollies and getting out the Summertime Sheets to put them onto the bed and breaking out the Barbie for the weekend parties we usually have in Summer and over Christmas.

What I'm not looking forward to at the moment is Summer. If this is what August is going to be like here in Brisbane, what is it going to be like in four months' time? Right stinking hot, that's what! And I'm wondering if we're going to be able to handle it; let alone survive Christmas with the oncoming storm season.
And how bad are those storms going to be? There's so many questions and I'd love to know the answer to them. However, the weather in Australia - as with the rest of the globe - is so unpredictable these days that not even the weatherman can trust what he's saying sometimes (no offence to the great ones out there; but really you know that at times, the equipment does tell fibs).

You never know, we may have a Summer of a time where we hibernate during the day because it's too hot to get out and do stuff and then at night, do our housework, laundry and gardening because there's a better chance of not getting sunburnt.

Now, wouldn't that be a better life for all of us if we could do that in the Summer seeing how much longer the days are anyway?
