The question is, Will it reach 100 degrees?

Temp at 12.47 pm was 37.7 C, 99.86 F
Temp now at 1 pm is 37.4 C, 99.32 F.
On the way down. Wind has turned SE. The Fremantle Doctor has arrived.
Called the Fremantle Doctor because it administers first aid to everyone in the form of a cooling breeze.

It's -2 here in Swindon UK. I'd rather that than your temperature

@Gusman "there was an old woman who swallowed a fly..."

@Travelbug I don't know why she swallowed a fly, poor old Woman, she's bound to die👍️

It already seems to be going down. You can always take ibuprofen or acetometaphin to reduce fever. Melatonin will also reduce a fever because it prepares your body for sleep and reduces body tempreature. Of course Melatonin has one unwanted side effect of drowsiness. But if your sick you should be sleeping to recover faster.

@DisgruntledWookie Mea Culpa. I was not specific enough. The temperature I am referring to is ambient air temperature. It is now 100 degrees here in Perth

@Gusman Oh im sorry i should have read your question better. I wondered why it said wind 😂

Sea breeze is in but the temperature in the city keeps going up. The Fremantle Doctor is not strong enough to penetrate the wall of heat that is surrounding the city. Fremantle is about 18 km's from Perth.
Fremantles temperature at 2.50 pm is 31, 88, Perth is 39.1, 102.3.

Looks like it was only a extremely temporary relief. Wind has changed back to NE and the temp immediately went up to 37.9, cracked the 100 degrees at 1.07 pm. 100.22 degrees🥵

Oh wow! Is that typical for this time of year, or is it an especially hot summer?

I think I’m better off here in the 30s and 40s with the rain and mud, though it does get a little tiresome! OK, I understand that the Fremantle Doctor name for the cooling refreshing wind is a bit of humor. But is there any explanation for why Fremantle, in particular? Is Fremantle a coastal city?@Gusman

Gusman · 61-69, M

@Poppies Yes Fremantle is at the mouth of the Swan River, South West of Perth. The "Doctor" comes from that direction.

Fingers Crossed.🤞
