Sandgroper Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 We have family landing next Friday and have told them they will melt as soon as they leave the airport, since early November it's been like the best UK summer ever clear blue skies and mid 20's!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for the proper heat to kick in :cool: Ocean is still a perfect temp though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 It is odd. In am in the WA outback and we should be in the 40's now. But it has been only in the 20's. Not complaining though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee13 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 For the last 10 years or so I think Summer in Perth has moved forward to start in Jan.. the seasons have moved.. interesting when reading about traditional aboriginal knowledge of Perth seasons apparently there were 7-8 seasons showing that our need to apply traditional western european seasons to everywhere we populate does not quite hold true.. its going to be a long hot summer though.. perhaps ending around end of march..

HappyHeart Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 It was 32d yesterday? It's lovely! But cooler than normal though. All the better for a day of gardening though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbye grey sky Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 A balmy 34 here in Brisbane yesterday but a damp 20 today. For just a day feels like I have arrived on an English summer day lol. And we are heading off for a pool party and barbecue. Hope they have a plan B. :chatterbox: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complaining though Have you ever done your own prospecting vs? My parents have a friend who does and he's had some nice finds. Thought being a geologist you might have greater insight to where the shiney stuff is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heester Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Summer seems to have arrived now though. Jeez... temperatures in the last week sure have been pretty warm. Summer seems to have made a late entry in WA though. I read somewhere that the weather experts did predict a scorching summer though, so I reckon we'll experience a very hot Jan and Feb. #jumpinthepool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the proper heat to kick in :cool: Ocean is still a perfect temp though. No idea to what you refer. High thirties today as it was yesterday with plenty of thirties preceding that. Yes has been more overcast and humid past few days than usual and a few more days of high twenties than normal( Christmas Day for example) but hardly akin to a UK mid 20's summer.

Quokka2005 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The Aussies from where I'm working have been complaining about the heat in Perth after coming back so it must be a lot warmer than here. It'll be a shock to the system I think after being used to mostly cool days down here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there two weeks in November and there were many hot days over thirty. I did hear there was respite after I left though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is agreed that it hasn't been the usual stinker considered the norm for time of year. Mid twenties though is calling it a bit too low. I found summer kicked in earlier this season. I had more days at the beach in October than normal. 39 tomorrow for the record. Hardly the arrival of the ice age yet though I admit nobody has claimed as much.

HappyHeart Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's been a decent Summer so far in Perth, very hot days interspersed with cooler than usual days. No complaints here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 We've just celebrated our 4th Xmas/new year here in Perth. Must admit I'm finding this up/down weather a bit strange!! never known it to be like it it has been. Summer was summer, hot, hot hot. What's with the more autumn feeling days.

I think your summer came here. We have had weeks of warm, sunny weather. Been swimming in the sea most days. We really need good rainfall now though.

Seems weird. Bet you're glad it's not 40 or above though Fifi? It reached 32C here one day and that was far too hot for me! Today it's mid 20s and sunny.

Quokka2005 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm quite enjoying the weather, I'm not sure why anybody wants 40oc all the time lol. So if this is a bit cooler than normal then I'm glad. Although this morning I woke up freezing because it had dropped to 20, I even turned the van off. Down south was the same - one minute it felt warm at 30's then the next thing it was 20 and I'd be freezing. Always up and down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
