I hope nobody is riding home this afternoon. It'll be very hot.

A fair bit of bite in the sun this morning.

Riding home, but it beats the alternative of staying at work

Riding home yes at about 5
Just rode in at 9 and it was already getting hot.
Drink loads of water!
Have a great ride,

4pm for me. I'll be straight into the pool when I get home!

42.8 deg C at Sydney Olympic Park as of 12:30pm. Predicting 44 in Parramatta.

I wish there was a short way home! It is going to be a punishing ride home!!

44.9 deg C earlier at Observatory Hill. Hate to think of the temp further west, north and south. Start your home ride prep now, start drinking!

Well, yeah, of course. But... it's 45.2°C! Far out...

I'm really hoping it'll cool off by the time I'm home around 4:30pm. I don't commute by bike, but I do like to ride every afternoon for a couple of hours.

Southerly cool change will come around 8pm, with a storm. Not sure you'd want to be out then.

44.5 out here not long ago. anyone riding there today also be aware big day out is on. boiler room will live up to its name today

Dr X prescribes 100ml of HTFU brand concrete slurry

I'm going out in it RIGHT NOW

45.5 was the max at Kingsford Smith earlier this afternoon.
Luckily (kind-of) I'm at work until 6pm, so hopefully it will have cooled down by then.

Added to the heat is a 14-30km/h headwind for my ride home.

Noice.

Maybe the train will be a better option.

Kev.

The storm is here early, but just misses my suburb. All that red/black patches on the weather radar, it'd be a nice cooling drench if you are under its path.

The change hasn't hit us up here in Newie yet. I've been putting it off, but I can't wait any longer at work before heading home - still 40+ out.
But the fluid reserves are good and I will just potter along. At least a westerly is a tailwind on the way home.

Just rode home in 44 degree heat for 22kms. Do not ride in this heat if you've got any distance to cover, I tried to HTFU but I think I missed the H T and only managed to get the F U part.

That's brilliant!

Have a nice cool evening...

Temp topped out at 46.4 degrees for me at North Ryde, then cooled off to 42.5 degrees
I had two frozen solid bottles of water when I started at Nth Sydney. Both were melted by the time I reached Lane Cove a whole 10min later!
Pool at home was an icy cold 31 degrees

Overcast and humid this morning.
Have a great ride,

A very pleasant morning for a bike ride.

A bit wet. Only got rained on for the second half of the ride.

Rode Sunday. Rained the whole time but it was great to ride when no one is on the cycleways. It should rain more often!

Thread title is on weather _this morning_!
Seriously though, the rain and wind has died down very quickly, actually rideable now.
