This is the Friends of History Debating Society.

I'm John Bachelor, off to New South Wales, Jeremy Zakis, high summer down under Australia.

And we look at the climate because you will recall for more than a year now, there have

been repeated mentions of, we've never seen this.

This is unprecedented.

This is more rain.

This is more flooding than we can remember.

And now we come to high summer and the question of heat entered into the conversation.

And now it looks normal suddenly, thunderstorms, summer thunderstorms.

Jeremy, a very good day to you.

What is it right now in Sydney?

And how has it been this last week?

Good day.

Good day, John.

Well, right now I can tell you it is humid.

It is warm, but it is not hot.

It's looking like it's about to rain again.

We've had some rain earlier this morning and thunderstorms overnight.

But again, it is not hot.

You might remember this time last week, we were talking about 40 degrees Celsius.

We're talking, which is 100 degrees Fahrenheit plus, expecting to be sweltering and dry, dry

heat.
