Typically the coast including City will be cooler than out here but not today due to one of those occasional weather systems that kills the ocean breeze.

Won't get below 28C tonight.

Stop exaggerating Nick. We can clearly see a brief period of 26 degrees at 11pm before heating up again to 29 by 2am...

@voodoo was 28 when I checked it before. Google has revised it down.

It actually isn't too bad outside right now but the pool still looks good for a late night swim

@voodoo you're at Manly. There's a beach, right?

39 degrees outside. Absolutely fuck playing rugby in this weather.

This country eh? If the animals or plants aren't trying to kill you, it just tries to burn you alive instead.

And it'll be hotter tomorrow!

🥵

Our rented apartment has no aircon so am sweating my bollocks off!

Surely no air con is illegal in Australia?

Yeah, fair point. Water is awesome right now too. But I'd be sweaty again by the time I got home

There are some houses in western Sydney that don't even have ceiling insulation.

I hope it’s not too cold to walk 100 metres to the pub to watch.....

@voodoo hot humid Aussie evening, All Blacks in a must win test match, shades of 03 RWC semi...gulp.

Coming into a game playing an opposition we put five million points against earlier?

It's a tough decision, but in a knock out game I think we should bat first and try and get them to chase.

But... Foster has decided we'll bowl first.
