Must be my phone because it's been showing the Gold Coast as devoid of sunshine in recent times.

Then again the forecast seems brilliant for Sydney and semi-miserable again for Gold Coast from Monday onwards (hardly a cloud in the sky for Sydney and just rain/storms for GC).

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

We've had both today so it may have been partly right. :lol: Last few days we've had very bright mornings and early afternoons moving on to cloud and then storms at night. Even cloudy it's not what I'd call miserable.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

You're right, cloudy is still fine. But for some reason I always thought that heading north would bring about more sunny hours than staying in Sydney.

Either way, relocating to GC next week which is why I've started monitoring the weather there. :)

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Isn't it just a case that for any day where the forecast is 'possible showers' the summary icon will show rain? And given that it's storm season in SE Qld...showers/storms are certainly possible almost any day...but most likely in the late afternoon.

If I look at a Singapore summary forecast almost any time of the year it will show rain every day...but it doesn't tell you for how long and how much unless you drill into the detail.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

In winter yes, in summer no. Melbourne will have higher sunshine hours than either at this time of year.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Correct, Singapore forcast is always stormy and yet it can be sunny on most days with no rain all week.

I guess the Winter/Summer sunshine trade-off might actually be a good thing, though I hadn't done my research and up until a few minutes ago believed that GS would be way sunnier throughout the year. :)

Brisbane has been a lot cooler this week too. Autumn is just around the corner.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Perth's just burning, as usual. I could go off my home town.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Yeah, Brisbane has nothing on Perth. I remember last time I lived there the extremes nearly killed me, even with the warm weather we've had in Brissy this summer, I still prefer the weather here.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Hope you are all safe over there. Pictures looks frightening on TV. :(

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

In Brissie just now having left the snow behind in Glasgow 2 weeks ago and loving Brissie sunshine. Loving even more our first grandson born 3 weeks ago.:thumbsup:

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Whenever I watch breakfast TV Sydney is always overcast! Not sure where this miserable weather devoid of sunshine on the GC is you're seeing lol!

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

I have been wearing a hoodie the last few nights sitting outside on my balcony in Brisbane. Cooler weather is setting in I think.

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

It sure is cooler here, its heaven!!!Needed a fleece while waiting for the bus at 6am today in Melbourne :thumbsup:

Re: Brisbane heat hell
 

Nice, enjoy:thumbsup:
