I hope you have a cool place to take a dive in the lake or something.
That's what I do here, I have a lake to the north and another to the
south.

It can get to 38-40C here in the summer bit it's rare. Normally the
hotest days here in the summer range around 36C.

It's good your temps fall nicely at night at least. Here the temps at
night (in the summer) drop to about 28-30C.

It's 2C now (quite warm) and snowing.

Made it to 45 here today. :) Fortunately, no fires in the local area, but there's one around Maryborough that's of concern, and dry storms on the way. :/
According to my weather station, it's 37.6 outside at 8:53PM. :/

Buy yourself a weather station, mine ties in with Weather Underground so you can get details on your PC or phone. It is really accurate when I have done comparisions with the BOM on all information. Mine was an xmas gift from my children a couple of years ago, it was bought from Jaycar.

I beleive they have dropped in price but not sure what the price of the model XC0422 is now.

It can be difficult to find the right spot where to install the main unit,
mine should be higher but I wasn't going to climb on the roof so installed it near the pool. BTW, there is a small seperate unit for indoor temperature
which I installed on the patio.

You can see mine on the weather underground unit ICAIRNS31.

My indoor temperature sensor is in the main display unit. I've found the accuracy to be reasonably good, agreeing closely with the official BoM station at the airport (which seems to be the coolest place in town). :)

Checked you out, your temperature is practically identical to here ATM. :)

Not sure about cutting back but they need as many weaather stations connected to get more accurate data. I use EasyWeatherIP on my PC to connect and PWS monitor on my iphone.

If you find something better let me know.

I think they made the indoor unit seperate as it's used in the dew point calculation. My main display is in my den and in the air coditioning if it's hot.

Data exported is in a CSV file so shouldn't be an issue, this is using EasyWeatherIP software for my unit.

I tend to look at it real time and not really bothered with historical data in my case.

CSV is fairly commom and can be used to import into Excel or data bases.
