Today was a hot one--42 C or 108 F! We were warned upon starting orientation today that "people die in this weather." Awesome because knowing my luck, it will be me. I just tried to stay out of the sun, wore my hat when I was in the sun, and drank loads of water.
We were also told to wear "sun cream" and not to worry about tanning because the sun will burn right through it, what with Australia being right under the hole in the Ozone Layer. Oh yay, one more thing that can kill you...eventually.
I did survive, though, and without a sunburn, so that's a plus.
