Down here in Melbourne Aus we've had a very unseasonably dry October, its our sixth year of drought. Our farmers are the worst hit, looks like breads going up in price again

Most Australian mainland capital cities are now facing major water crisis with most cities having less than 50% of water storages remaining. Cities like Melbourne have had rain up to 90% below the average for September and October 2006 compounding the problem of extremely low rainfall from the preceding winter months.

In 2003 we went through a damn hot day of 43.9 c thats 111.02 f just missing a record high on January 13, 1939 named Black Friday when they suffered 45.6 c 114.08 f. Heres the irony only 2 days earlier I knocked back an airconditioner.
And they're predicting another long hot summer this year.
