A little summer heat is appearing in the Sunshine State.

The town of Miles QLD hit over 48C (119F). Note this is *not* in the
desert, it is on the downs where the industries are cropping and grazing.

So close to the summer solstice at that latitude the sun would be overhead
at noon.

How would your lettuce be holding up?
