Brisbane in August
#1
Hi All!
We are visiting Brisbane in August to have a good look round. Just wondered what to expect with the weather
I have been informed that it will be on the cool side - in the 20's - but here in miserable/rainy old UK, that is a heatwave!!
What kind of clothes should we take?
Thanks as always for all your good advice.

25*c, like you say a good summers day here in the Uk!!! Clothes wise, I think I'm going to take what we would use here in the UK for our summertime, plus a fleece, as it can get chilly in the mornings and evenings. Relatives have also said they think it would be OK for kids to swim in their pool or go in the sea. Hope this helps.

We arrived two years ago in July and we were walking about in short sleeved clothes whilst the Aussies were wearing coats and fury boots
At the time we thought they were bonkers cos to us it felt warm, however 2 years on...we're now acclimatised and are the same
For anyone from UK you will LOVE it in August as it's warm during the day but not hot. It is cold though first and last part of the day.
