Define: Filthy Hot

Today was the epitome of ‘filthy hot’. What springs to mind when you hear that phrase roll off the tongue? Imagine that sticky feeling, that glues your clothes to your skin, giving your whole demeanour an uncomfortable ‘icky’ feeling. An unquenchable thirst drives you, as you stumble through the heat waves, discarding empty water bottles as their contents provides momentary relief to your parched throat.
Frustration wells up inside, as Telstra can’t decide if a technician needs to come on-site to connect the new telephone line. Yes, No, wait, hurry up, the tech is already there. Dragging you outside, inside and out again. But at last it gets done, and you can retreat to the coolness that is air-conditioning.
Thirty-Five degrees and counting. And it’s only the beginning of October.

We’re in for one filthy hot summer Australia.
