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.

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

@Poppies Typical weather. Summer is only 2 weeks old as well. Temp now is 38.8, 101.8 at 2.17 pm.
Perth Airport reached 39.9, 103.8

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

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