    K firstly we hit 22 deg for the first time this year I reckon . Secondly those two women pictured in this sub tropical heatwave are wearing cardigans as well as one of them drinking coffee!! Thirdly this poor child who was obviously thrown into a shallow pool for the photo pic, his mother is also dresses for the cold. So heatwave its is not. Normal weather for this time of year, maybe

    I was in the water with a wet suit and gloves. The sun did make a difference but when I got home; I did need to take a long shower to thaw out.
