after a year of mostly "chilly" weather and rain that surely put manchester to shame, the wee isle is now experiencing one of its hottest spells ever. and the thermostat goes as high as 35.5 degrees Celcius.
ack!
if the current climatic condition doesn't abate in the next two weeks or so:
1. there will be more occurences of bush fires
2. polluted air that will result in respiratory and ocular problems
3. all three - or is it four? - reservoirs will dry up quickly
4. the entire islet may be subjected to a water rationing campaign
i remember clearly back in early or mid 70's, there were posters and stickers all over the place reminding wee islanders to save water in view of the long and dry hot season. one particularly stood out with the following line:
"water is precious.. don't waste it"
if today's feckless natives take heed of the above, i may see cow's fly.
