Quoll Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 There was a little lad riding on the back of his dad's bike when I came home from the gym - shorts and t shirt (as did my DH riding his bike home but that's nothing new!). Betting it'll snow on 30/12 because we have to be at the airport quite early to head off to Aus (aargh the heat!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I used to live it would be like this even if it was -10C outside. I'm in the UK on holiday at the moment and I think I must have acclimatised because I'm finding it a bit cold. 14 may be mild for winter but it's still not warm as far as I'm concerned. Especially when it's partnered with a cold wind and/or drizzling rain. I'm still wearing a warm cardigan and my heavy wool coat whenever I go anywhere.

BritChickx Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I think it was about 15 degrees yesterday here. I went out night and wore a thin leather jacket instead of a winter coat and I even felt a bit hot in that, and that never happens! Unless it's my cold :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight7 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 41C here today and not much cooler now it is night- they think it will be about 30 overnight, most uncomfortable. Tomorrow will also be hot, 37 or so- flying off to Sydney for some cool weather hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow will also be hot, 37 or so- flying off to Sydney for some cool weather hehe 35c plus ....sod that .....BUT we have just had a weather expert on sky news ...he reckons the cold sting in the tail MAY come late in February . Although temp records are being broken globally. Marry that with the fighting Atlantic and pacific currents he couldn't make an accurate prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bora Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Came in late last night and I heard the Birdsong you get on evenings in late Spring. I've seen Dafs starting to shoot, and at 1pm had 17c on my Car temp display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaranda Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Yes Bunbury,growing up in Wilts before we emigrated in 1970,I can well remember snow at Xmas........Dad shovelling snow away from outside doors so we could go outside,and that went on for a long time back then too!I think that's what spurned my parents to emigrate,5 kids housebound drove them crazy!lol JUst not how it used to be these days.I actually love snow myself,and miss it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for great pictures if there is a clear sky .....but I cant stand it . 15c will do me Oh I know it's mild, and I'm not complaining really as if it was properly cold we would freeze outside. The main issue I have with th weather right now is it is just so cloudy and grey. We have had two days since we arrived 8 days ago where we have seen blue skies and they only lasted an hour or so. I think I would prefer it if it was clear and cold right now. Still, it's still more Christmassy than the 40C heat in Adelaide at the moment.

bunbury61 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Global warming Yeah ,I said on another post ,that I watched a weather expert from oxford uni talking about the mild weather . They will not commit to say That its climate change or global warming ,but records at being broken all over the planet . He did Sa there may be a sting in the tail for the u.k in February .... Also the competing Atlantic and pacific currrents are being messed around ....plus you have to throw in el Nino .....no wonder the experts wont commit to a definitive answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthomas010 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Well - I was out cutting my grass and tidying up the garden today in a t-shirt. Daffodils are starting to come through too and a tree nearby has started to blossom. Nature clearly thinks it's spring [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
