Last month was dry. 3ml of rain fell in Brisbane when the average for April is 53ml. This week we have seen the hottest maximum temperature records broken in towns all across Queensland. Saturday here in Brisbane was 18-30, today was 17-28. It's anywhere upwards of 5-8 degrees above normal (whatever normal is these days?). Water consumption is down 40% across the city, so folk are in the main doing their best to conserve water, but the situation is dire and good rain is still a long way away. We can't wash our cars (only windows, lights) but Rene noticed our neighbours across the road yesterday with a stream of water coming out from under their garage door. The car sat in the driveway all shiny and clean today. Oh well, most folk are doing the right thing.
