So hot today!

The forecast yesterday confirmed that it's scorching hot in the west today with likely rising January temperatures. We decided to head off to the pool nearby to simply escape the heat and got hooked up in the water for hours. The temperature reached up 42 degrees C in our place while the city enjoyed a cooler weather between 28 to 30 degrees C.When we arrived there, my speculation confirmed that there were so many people in every pool. I had to keep an eye on David most of the time though, as the pool where he was in was crowded. Dorothy preferred in the big pool which was also crowded with people so she can practice her swimming skills . It was so hot that I can see clearly the heat waves on the ground. Glad that David's choice of pool was partially covered with tarps.
When we arrived home, we got a surprise, hubby turned on the Aircon in the lounge room before he went to bed which made the house more cooler at the time we arrived. I immediately went out to the back to check out our dogs if they had still enough water to drink and found them lazily lying down under a tree. It was my tree fern that got the worst hit of the sun that it burned down badly their leaves. This is also expected every hot summer days that is likely to happen. The worst so far this summer season that we got burned leaves of our plant from the sun.
