Expecting 2 days of 37C highs with not much wind. I pray (not literally) that the electric grid is resilient enough to keep up.
Thanks for sharing. A bit disappointed my concerns from 2 weeks ago were warranted. Hopefully there will be a consumption reduction campaign for next year’s (this year’s?) heat wave, especially given the increase in air con units after last week.
