   Question; why do all graphs in articles on climate change (including here) look like they were plotted using 1970s computer technology?

   The hottest day I personally remember occurred in November 1968 – I don’t remember the date.

   I remember this day particularly well because in 1968 I lived in The Gap – a suburb of Brisbane. I was in high school undertaking our school system’s external examinations for what was then called the “Junior leaving certificate” – you couldn’t leave school until 15 – I was 14.

   I was sitting a technical drawing examination. Anyone who has ever undertaken one of these knows neatness is an essential pre-requisite.

   the day I sat this examination the temperature was well over 105 F – >40 C – in the examination room – no air conditioning in any of our state schools back then.

   Everyone in that room sweltered for 3 hours trying to produce good looking drawings with sweat rolling from every pore.

   That is why I remember it so well.

   The next stand out one I remember occurred in November 1980 – I don’t recall the date.

   I was an Environmental Health Officer undertaking water sampling with 2 students on work experience for their course.

   Swimming pools were packed and the water temperatures of all of the pools exceeded 35 degrees C – you can imagine the air temperature in the Sun. Still only the second hottest I recall. I never understood why people bothered going swimming in near body temperature water ???

   The next really hot day I recall occurred in January 2012. The temperature hit 38 degrees C in Brisbane.

   August 2009 was abnormal though – 31 degrees C in the last month of “winter” was a bit abnormal – nothing anywhere near that since the decade long drought broke with spectacular rainfall and flooding though.
