This post is about the weather

Why is it so hooooot. It's like the southern hemisphere is currently inclined towards the sun, causing more of the sun's rays to hit it. The fact that the Earth is at its closest to the sun in January does not help.

I whine about the heat every year, but every year it gets hot and I hate it. I'm glad I don't live out in Renmark, a town near the Victoria/South Australia border, or something. The forecast for today in Canberra is 35 (95F), and it usually gets up to 39 or 40 (104F) at some point in summer. Today's forecast for Renmark is 44 (113F), and it'll probably get hotter next month. They're right near the desert, so they get its heat.

Yesterday some relatives that I hadn't seen for ages came down from Brisbane. I said that I'd have to move to either Brisbane or Melbourne to get a good shot at getting into the games industry, and that I'd rather not move to Brisbane because I'd miss the cold weather. My aunt said that it did get cold in Brisbane, saying that sometimes it got down to 14 (57F). It was hilarious. I had to ask if that was a maximum. It was a minimum. The temperature in Canberra may come up above freezing at some point every day, even in the middle of July, but I don't think people in Brisbane know what cold even is.

Hurry up, winter.
