Our blue bottle is a closely related species, with slightly more of a blue tinge, Physalia utriculus
And the current numbers are fairly rare, you often only see the occasional one...

Oh, just fucking great, giant mutant jellyfish. What next? Sharks with frickin lasers on their heads?
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

That's certainly true of siphonophores, the group to which blue bottles belong, but the true jellyfish are actually single organisms, albeit with specialised cells...

They're fucking commies, is what they are. Vicious, dangerous commies that need to be exterminated. Luckily, patriotic turtles eat the fuckers.

Hahaaaa. Hughey, the Australian god in charge of weather had mercy on me two days in a row. Living just 70 kilometres south of the town with the highest maximum for today, Port Augusta with 49°C, the worst it got to was 36.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 1:57 amThe world's hottest places in the 24 hours to 11am (AEDT) on January 16:

It's down to 31.5°C now. by 7pm it might have dropped below 30.
ETA: I don't know where you're getting your figures from, but Weatherzone, which obtains its information from the Bureau of Meteorology, has the Gutta's top temperatures down for 48.5°C on the 15th and 44.7 today.
