CockneyRebel Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 What do you define as hot and what is the most desirable temperature? I read somewhere once that 20 to 22 celcius was optimum for human beings. Sydneys winters at 16c are lovely, best time of the year. I think someone of you on here will be very disappointed when you get to Oz and sample the hot summer weather. Sure it looks good on a postcard and is ok for a couple of weeks holiday, but working in heat every day, beating down on your head. You may find your praying for rain, or hiding inside with the air con on. Be careful anyone who is bald like Jim too, make sure you wear a hat otherwise the intense heat out here will boil your brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I think 25 to 30 is about right for me, I was happy when it was in the early 30s in Perth and Brisbane, when it's 20 here in the UK in the shade or a bit of a breeze it can feel colder, but we haven't had much sun, this thread was started because someone said they felt cold when it was 23 degrees in Australia, so I used that as a bench mark, would anyone want to go to the coast here in the UK and lay on the beach, or swim in the sea if it was below 23 degrees? I know I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CockneyRebel Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah yeah bullet head. Everyone knows your a coot. Just pack plenty of sun tan lotion for your Dewsbury Dome...Lol!! On a more serious note however, 25 to 30 celcius with no cloud cover is very hot. You wont get those temperatures all year round though unless your in the North. Perth, Sydney and Melbourne only have 3 months of the year when the average is in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W8ENN Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Unsettled weather over the Bank Holiday weekend has left many parts of the UK with heavy rain and even flood alerts. But forecasters said September could give us something to be cheerful about before autumn sets in. An area of high pressure is currently sitting out over the Atlantic, but is expected to move into the south of the UK by the end of the week. That will force the low pressure currently causing wet and windy conditions to move away and the country should see temperatures rise as a result, at least for the first week of the month. Sky Weather Presenter Jo Wheeler said: "There's no doubt the end of August is looking pretty dismal with a complex low system over the country now - and more unsettled weather to come this week. "But there are good signs that high pressure will start to build over southern parts this coming weekend. "That would bring some more settled, and hopefully sunny conditions to much of England and Wales. "By Monday, we should be pulling in some warmth as well, which may have us a spell of weather, however brief, that looks a lot like summer as we know it." Summer has again been a damp squib in the UK, with rainfall figures likely to be among the top five wettest on record. This weekend saw the cancellation of Premier League football between Sunderland and Reading and the final day of the Creamfields festival in Warrington was cancelled after heavy rain left the site as a muddy swamp.
