How are all the Melbournians keeping cool today?

Sydneysider here, but we had that heat last week!!

Truly I just wanted to die.

All I wanted to do was SLEEP, and even with the aircon on full, it was useless.

I kept flipping my pillow to a cold side that wasn't there.

Just a note to make your drinks colder -- put your cups in the freezer!!

I work in hotels and it is a common occurance to chill/freeze glasses, as they make the drinks slightly colder.

Stay as still as possible in dark rooms with your fan/aircon on full.

Your computer gives off heat, if it gets that bad in the room you're in, turn that off too.

Good luck, I could NOT do another week of that!!

Very very hot!
I reckon the best way to cool your self is to spray water on yourself and stay in front of a fan/air conditioner and drink plenty of FREEZING water! Works every time for me :D

Good Luck!

Yesterday I cooked a spring roll in my driveway, it was cooked and crispy. I couldn't believe it!

I'm just sitting in front of my fan all day, doing my holiday homework then going into the cold bath for half an hour or so =]

I hate this weather, its gonna be 42 tomorrow, and 36 on saturday. Can't wait till 30 degrees on sunday!!

we have had our evaporative cooling on for over 24 hours now (and probably will stay on till sunday), 22 degrees is the temp inside the house. no power outages around my area.... yet

I'm studying abroad from America and I'm loving the weather! I left New Jersey two days before a snowstorm. It was 23 degrees F I wore a coat and scarf on the plane and got off with a skirt on! So maybe I am one of the few people enjoying the weather and walking in the heat happily.

Right now I'm rubbing one of those ice block things over my face :)
Not the ones you put IN your drink, but the ones that you sit the drink bottle on when it's in a case.

I go in my pool and lie down in from of the fan all day. I havn't tried the egg thing but I've always wanted to...

Its impossible to keep cool today!! I've been in the pool like ten times and its not helping!! I've given up. We just have to deal with the ridiculous heat for a week.

no power outage for me yet. I don't use the train lines that often either.

No haven't tried to fry an egg on concrete yet, but the egg would bake before fry, I heard

Well keeping cool isn't an option when the air conditioning in 90% of the classrooms I am taught in, have air conditioning that shuts off every 5 seconds because the motor has overheated. I get to stay home tomorrow because mum says school is useless when it's that hot, you can't learn.
