Guest Guest66881 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If you have been climbing under the doona this winter only to experience the hot sweats, you're probably not alone. The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) announced on Tuesday that Australians have experienced the hottest 12-months on record, with a host of historical highs toppled. The average temperature was 22.9C from September 2012 to August this year - 1.11C above the 1961-1990 average. Check out the latest weather forecast in your area And it hasn't just been in the red centre either. The uncharacteristic warmth has been felt across the entire continent with no regions registering below-average temperatures. January 7 has now taken top position as the hottest summer day on record. http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/latest/18770632/australia-has-warmest-year-on-record-bom/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest66881 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 More over the nights for us so hot and sticky, the dry hot days we are getting used to, but boy those sultry nights with crickets chattering in the back ground do my fruit in, still love it here though.

paul1977 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I find it worst than rain.. You sweat your nuts off, burn to death and constantly dehydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I find it worst than rain.. You sweat your nuts off, burn to death and constantly dehydrated. Shows how we differ,lol,, I like the rain here, well i can tolerate it better here, wouldn't say i love it,lol. I would rather it hammer it down like something you could never imagine for a few hours a day for a week than that crappy drizzle all day every day for days on end in the UK. Each to their own....

Chortlepuss Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's interesting what people who have always lived in Brisbane say about how the weather has changed. I got a taste 7 years ago - Hot summer days followed by storm at tea time then a nice evening. I quite liked that! Summer for me least favourite too - but I just treat it like a UK winter - something to be endured and a price to pay for lovely weather at other times. Mind you in UK for 5 months and its been pretty near perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are ony dehydrated when they don't drink. Give water a try, it's quite something when you get used to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Lovely weather this last couple of days- perfect. If it is 30 in Adelaide we usually get it 4 days later! I like it up to 35C personally but after that, too hot. Still better than the dreary grey weather we used to get in the UK though. I used to find it most depressing but, hey ho, we're all different.

Guest Guest66881 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 30c is hot and you know that mate, 40c is bloody horrid if you are out working in it, 30c is not nice to be honest no matter how much water you drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish. 30C is a nice comfortable day here with next to zero humidity. Maybe in Perth it's different, it definitely is in Brisbane and Darwin.

Didn't actually reach 30 here in Adelaide though :no:. And it wasn't sunny so didn't feel that hot. I actually considered putting my cardigan on walking for the bus after work today as there was a bit of a breeze. I've quite liked being warm these last few days but it looks like we are back to maximums of 17-20 from tomorrow so I shall be back in my long sleeve tops and thick black tights.

paul2542 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I think were looking at around 27-28c over the next few days, that's pleasant enough for early spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
