Zate 🦘🇦🇺It's been over 45c since about 10am. Currently just saw 48.1 at 11:10am. I just went out to spray down the chicken coop and the quail cage to help them cope. Holy shit it's hot.
Ah so yeah. It's just topped 50.7 at 12:05.
Just drove a spare portable AC unit we had over to someone's house whose cooler wasn't keeping up.
HD Moore@zate yikes, you're making Texas summers sound chilly, stay safe!
@hdm I don't think I ever experienced this hot. Not even that really hot summer in 2011 when I first moved to Austin.
It's 1pm and 52.2c.
Que@zate that is scary hot. We’ve had good results freezing some veggie bits into long thin blocks of ice to cool our flock down in similar heat.
My solar is kicking ass though. 11kw of panels but can only feed a max of 5kw to the house but I can send the rest to battery for later. Though 6.8kwh only lasts about an hour with aircon on. It's an hour at peak time. Drawing about 1.5kwh from the grid, while trying to use almost 7kwh to survive 52.2c temps isn't terrible.
Itwasntme@zate oh my. Stay safe. That’s pretty unbearable.
