Hi im emigrating to Perth in 3 weeks just wanted to know how cold their winters really are? and what part of Aus has the warmest and coldest winters, thanks.

Well, it's been hail and sleet here today: blowing a BIG gale the last few days (common for 6 weeks around this time of year) and below zero at night.

Well, you *did* ask....

I'm in Perth and I scraped the ice off my car's windscreen on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week. It's typically around 1-2 degrees overnight warming up to 17 or 18 during the day. Add to this the rain and wind and it's ****ing cold. No warmer inside since most houses here are built to keep out the heat.

Very cold here every now and then. Most nights we have the wood burner going and I have a heated wheat bag in bed Perfect life for me would be September - May here, June through August in Cairns. Snow was falling in the Blue Mountains today and Worzel in Perth scraped ice off his windscreen the other morning! Well, you did ask

If you want warm winters come to Cairns, clear blue shies and 26 degrees in the day time. 19 degrees at the moment (9.30pm)

We visited Cairns in July, last year. 25 degrees in the day and sunny, fab!
We live in Adelaide and it is boody freezing and it seems to have been raining forever

Hot and humid with a lot of rain but not unbearable

Dont knock it ,best winter we have had for a long time, in 3 months time you will be begging for rain............mm

So I keep being told!!!!!
We have been here 2 1/2 years and all people seem to do is talk about how much rain we have had/not had. Watching the bloody stuff drain down to the sea is bad enough, then the constant Murray River debate...its nearly as bad as living in the UK!

Well i'm only 2 weeks in, and the Sydney Winter is a pleasant suprise to me.

Sure its cool, but i can handle 15'C winters.

I'm walking around in T-shirts and getting very funny looks from people.
I'm sure that next winter i will be wrapped up and complaining that its bitter cold, but for me at present it feels like late spring early summer.

Yup, 4 degrees yesterday and loads of snow. Didn't stick though. Howling gales here past couple days... incredibly cold.
Can't wait for the summer.

me either.. i dropped the kids at school this morning in the pissing rain
cant wait to be moaning im too hot

Ha ... yes by next winter, you'll be looking at people in shorts and T's, thinking they're crazy whilst you huddle into your woolies.
I'd like to see you up here in your summer clothes. There's always one mad tourist with blue legs in Leura.
