Parts of Australia have started the new year in sweltering conditions, with temperatures near 50 degrees Celsius in regional South Australia, and a heatwave predicted for Queensland.
So it is going to be a scorcher in the next few days mate
with near 40°C* forecast tomorrow.
Warm in the centre as you'd expect..
Top temperatures at Alice Springs have not strayed below 43°C since the start of the week.

that sucks big time
take everything that humidity will damage and put it double bag and vacuum the air out and put it well up high off the ground level.
buy pumps and hoses and dig a mote!
good luck

gl man, hope it's not too turrible. Mr. Plained's mote idea actually isn't a bad one, my neighbor did that this last summer and it really helped save his basement.

The weather is changing everywhere, becoming more extreme it seems. We've had a warm and wet winter thusfar, again. It doesn't really go below zero at this point anymore. Maybe in a month or so, for like a week.
Ten years ago things would have been very different...

Obviously we have forsaken the ancient gods and they are most displeased, we must ply them with offerings.
