A Taste of the Summer ahead

ByCrystal

One week away from spring day and its a serious scorcher here in Durban today!
I have pasted in the details that popped up when I googled our temperature today, I nearly fell off my chair when I read it.

Weather for Durban

40°C | °F Sat Sun Mon Tue
Clear Partly Sunny Mostly Sunny Mostly Sunny
Clear
Wind: NW at 37 km/h
Humidity: 11% 34° 17° 21° 14° 22° 16° 24° 19°
And there is also a very hot wind blowing. I’m sure we have a bit of a cold front ahead of us, but for the mean time we are all enjoying (dreading?) what’s to come in the next few months.
 
The last of my winter root crops wilting in the heat of the day:
 
I am hoping that tomorrow I can get stuck in the garden and make some space for all my summer crops.
