Plus it will be so bloody hot, everyone is getting pished until they can watch the evening games when it is cooler.

It's 35C in Melbourne today - tonight won't be much cooler.Blackmac wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:57 pmPlus it will be so bloody hot, everyone is getting pished until they can watch the evening games when it is cooler.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:43 pminactionman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:31 pm

I worked one Aussie Day weekend down there one year and it was 31C at Midnight
With thunderstorms coming this afternoon meaning it’s unbearably humid.mat the expat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 12:12 amIt's 35C in Melbourne today - tonight won't be much cooler.

And 14k cases of Covid in the city today. People are keeping away from crowds.

Please tell me OS is just trying some clumsy trolling here.
That wasn't my experience to be honest. We were there for 2 days, 3 years ago when the temp was reaching low 40s and found the nights far more bearable. We were there till nearly 0200 after watching the Andy Murray game.mat the expat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 12:12 amIt's 35C in Melbourne today - tonight won't be much cooler.

I think you’re being mean to ballbags but yes they are fuckwitts of the highest order, and the more the Aussie fans go on the more he will

It tends to oscillate but Melbourne regularly does get ridiculously hot sustained night-time temperatures.Blackmac wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 8:05 amThat wasn't my experience to be honest.

At least in Melbourne it's usually not humid - that's what kills me in Sydney this time of year

Aussies will be Aussies. Strewth.

Ok that makes more sense, can’t they play it at a cooler time of year? Tennis in 35 degrees is debilitating. I still reckon you would get big crowds at Wimbledon.Blackmac wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 6:57 pmPlus it will be so bloody hot, everyone is getting pished until they can watch the evening games when it is cooler.JM2K6 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:43 pminactionman wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:31 pm

The reason I asked is there are pockets of crowd and then vast areas with no one sitting. I would have thought of Covid was the reason people would be evenly distributed about the ground.
