Re: Wondering about the humidity in Brisbane???
the only thing that makes cairns seem hot is the humidity which is similar to darwin the hottest cairns gets is about 38 deg in the day and about 25 deg at night with 90-100 % humidity its not to nice , melbourne, perth and adalaide are very, very dry in summer because of the direction of the winds that come from inland Hence ( dry ) and your feet start to crack when you where thongs everyday,well mine did.
But its getting cold in noosa now and we`ve had the heating on for the last few weeks ( blood is to thin now ) anything below 25deg seems cold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Wondering about the humidity in Brisbane???
Well anywhere is warm when you've spent so long in the UK we had shockingly warm weather end of last week up to Wednesday when it started to get cooler, I was wondering if the whole village had been ripped out of the UK and emigrated itself to a slightly warmer country lol.
So I take it Sydney is somewhere imbetween Melbourne and Brisbane when it comes to heat?
Oh well i'd better make the most of the sort of warm weather here cause in a couple of weeks all of a sudden it'll be back to being Winter.....hmmmmmm oh goody only just left Winter behind, we so didn't time this move well (not that we had any choice) but a UK summer (ha ha ha) and then an Aussie summer would have been fantastic

We had a UK winter followed by an Oz winter and the Oz winter (even in Melbourne ) was so warm and mild and dry it could have easily been a UK Spring or Autumn.
I think arriving in winter is best, you can get all the hassly things out of the way like finding a house, banks etc and then by the time spring comes you can really enjoy it.

Re: Wondering about the humidity in Brisbane???
When is brisbane typically 38 - 39 degrees , it struggled to get over 28 this year, last time this was discussed it was agreed the last hot summer was about 2003, and this year there was one day it reached anywhere near 40.
If people want some 38 / 39 days each summer far better chance of finding them looking around adelaide, perth, melbourne or inland qld than brisbane.

It was really foggy this morning in the city.
(just thought I'd throw that in there as we're all harping on about the weather...)

Adelaide and Melbourne get colder, more overcast winters.
Autumn lasts longer in Sydney (and Perth). It is still reaching early 20s when
Melbourne gets to high teens.

Humidity,my pet hate . Adelaide and Melbourne are fine, the only humidity is when the dregs of a cyclone are dragged down as a deep low, otherwise a very dry heat.
Sydney experiences some humidity...so does Perth. The further north you travel the more humid it is.
Perth is just that little bit further north than Sydney

If you were, take a look at this..........taken on an 'averagely' humid day in the summer just gone. Was only about 37-39 degrees on this day, so no-where near as hot as it normally gets in the summer.........
If you look closely, you can see my shirt sticking to me, the wet sweat patches everywhere, the beetroot face....Ah, what it is to feel like a pressure cooker!
