Guest guest17301 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Agree, nice to see the opposite side of things, hot weather can be just as much of a pain than cloudy weather, I know which I prefer to be honest. Where does this mistaken belief that its either hot or raining in Perth come from? The MAJORITY of the year is temperate, warm, dry and conducive to spending all day everyday outside without fear of ninja flies or skin cancer if that is what you wish to do with your time.......

Guest guest17301 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I lived there for several years and my experience was they are a complete pain in the arse. They do come in waves and you can have periods of days at a time when they are not a big problem, but then you get long periods, ie weeks at a time when they are a nuisance. They do as you rightly say ruin daytime outdoor events, I can remember loads of occasions when the flies took over. They are around untill the weather starts to cool down which is Feb/March. Thats why April and may are the best months, still warmish, no flies. Once you hit July/August its cold. This is about balance, I read on here how some people hate the UK weather lol.....me I love it, im looking outside now, its sunny, dry, warm 20ish degrees, perfect, its been like that for the past week or 2 with a few hot horrible hummid ones thrown in, I dont like the scorching hot weather you get in Perth, I hated the flies that came with that weather, If you are not being burnt to a crisp you are being fed off by flies. So we did something about it and moved back to the UK, If flies are a compromise your prepared to make for the hot weather then fine, enjoy! It seems that the ones making the most noise about weather are the ones that live in the worst parts of the UK and can't for what ever reason move to Australia, I feel sorry them, It must be horrible when you desperately want something but cannot have it, you read about people on here that cant get a visa to move to Oz and I feel a real sense of pity for them. Its a shame that the only real experience some will ever have is a couple of weeks holidaying by city beach.(ahhh we loved that beach) If it really is as bad as they make out up where they live then they need to get off their backside and be pro active. Do something about it. But we all know thats never gonna happen. lol You dont sound much like you pity them to me...sounds like your taking the pee to be honest...good for you if you like the Uk and its ahem..great weather.....you enjoy it....minus the flies....

kungfustu Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hey PB I agree mate.....I couldnt give a toss when its warm, March/April.....Sept/Oct, who cares, we have had some gorgeous weather over the past 12 months.....well down south we have anyway. My boys played a football match last October 2nd, it was 28/29 degrees and roasting, we had to stop the game 20 mins in to give them drinks. September was also hot. March and April this year, lovely! I dont get what the problem is, they want hot weather, we get it, but still they complain, I suppose its down to the individuals outlook, positive or negative, some people will always be complainers and moaners, others will enjoy what you get and make the most of every opportunity and situation. If I could offer any advice to people that hate the UK weather it would be move to a hotter location, a bit closer to the equator, Ive heard that Australia is supposed to be hot & sunny 24 hours a day, AND Australian sh#t doesnt smell.......personally I dont believe that, no where can be that great......can it?:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Anyway, what happens if no one has guessed the correct number of hot days?

wakeboard1980 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Promise. Trying to explain that the thread title says SUMMER and not spring and shifting seasons and everything else you rabbit on about then YES. Carry on though you might find someone you can convince. Maybe try the HOFF, he is always looking out for the warm weather, you may be able to give him a heads up for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona, I found it far to hot as I worked outside, plenty of nice days yes but plenty of cold wet weather as well, I just prefer the weather in the uk, but that's me, the weather is not and has never been a priority f me because I do things rain or shine.

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This thread is solely about how many days of hot sunny 23 degrees plus days weather we have in the uk, because someone said it felt chilly in Australia and it was sunny and 22 degrees. I think it needs to be 23 degrees and sunny to be able to go to the coast and paddle in the frozen sea here in Blighty.

Pot kettle black comes to mind! Now c'mon shell, stay with the program.....Amongst other things, I didnt like Perths baking hot weather and flies so guess what, I acted on mine and my families feelings and did something about it......YES thats right we moved back to London where I do like the weather and there are no flies. Maybe you should pass this small bit of usefull information and advice to some of your mates, it might help improve their lives and stop them moaning about the place they live....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
