It was pretty warm on the motorbike leaving Cape Town 4pm today, thank goodness you don't really feel the heat when you're moving. Only gets hot when standing dead still at a red traffic lightOn the N2 stuck in traffic earlier. View attachment 1230706
Sounds like bliss....In 2010, we went camping in the Richtersveld from 3rd-10th Jan.
Most days were 46C in the shade

Quit bragging, Affluenza F__kboy!It was pretty warm on the jetski leaving Cape Town 4pm today ...
No man. Go to my holiday spot and chill in the pool.They are forecasting a lovely 44C for Calitzdorp on Sunday. Think I'll have to take the family over the Outeniqua mountains to have a lekka braai underneath some doringbome and enjoy the Klein Karoo sunshine.![]()
I've lived through 51. Without aircon.The hottest day I experienced was a day in Oudshoorn in 1991. 42 degrees Celsius. My Golf at the time had super effective air conditioning and it took the best part of 20 mins to cool the inside of the car and steering wheel and seats down after it had been standing in the sun for only an hour.
Hectic. Couldn't touch anything when I opened the car lol. Not even sit on my seat.
51 in Cape Town?I've lived through 51. Without aircon.

Couple of years ago was in Oudtshoorn for work. That Sunday the power was out and it was 47 degrees in the dorp. Took a solo motorbike trip into the Hell. Was faaaaarking hot out in the mountainsThe hottest day I experienced was a day in Oudshoorn in 1991. 42 degrees Celsius.
