I was there!
That is exactly what happened to me earlier this year when I was in Adelaide and the city experienced its highest ever temperature.
The previous record stood at 46.2c dating back to January 1939. This year it hit 46.6C (my car was showing 47C).
It was so hot that on temperature charts we were in the dark purple shades having gone straight past the different shades of reds.
You can feel so much heat on your skin. It’s like standing next to a foundry furnace in full melt mode in a short sleeve shirt. Even some flights got delayed due to the extreme heat. Now that’s a new one for me too.
So, whilst every local person there was moaning about this extreme freak weather, I was actually quite pleased I made it because a record that stood for so long is highly unlikely to be broken again for a while and therefore, I can say…. I was there
Until next time

What a Wonderful World!
Howdy from East Texas. Daniel Alcântara, our Training and Implementation Manager based out of the Brazilian office, were just discussing something and he mentioned “What a Wonderful World”. Now, I can’t get the most outstanding song by the legend Louis Armstrong out of my mind. So, that’s how the title of this BLOG came to be. -
AFS TEXAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS PLANNING MEETING
Howdy from sweltering Texas, I was honored to represent Team SYNCHRO ERP at the AFS Texas Board of Directors planning meeting in the former oil capitol of Texas, Kilgore. The surrounding area still has many oil derricks as displays of the heritage and even the road side park uses mini oil derricks for picnic table shelters.
