SA has day of record high temperatures

SA has day of record high temperatures : "The Farmers Federation says the winds have been a grain farmer's worst nightmare and the extent of crop damage will not be clear for several days."

The bottom line on climate change always seems to be food supply. Farmers, water, crops. Everything gets going and then some bizarre weather circumstance arrives at the perfect moment for destroying crops and livelihood. Primary industry is critical to a nation's health and wealth. We are going to have to rethink our farming practices. Most people hated the weather today. It made a lot of people angry and difficult to get along with. It made others despondent. I think I was the only one who felt much better for having had a nice warm day! Didn't even occur to me it might have been 30. I was feeling good!
