Still below 20°C overnight, but it will ramp up soon as Polly says.

I leave at 6:30am too. The best time.

I'm pretty sure the laws of physics mean it cannot get much hotter than this at night.

It will. But in 18 months time (+ or -) 20°C will feel cool once you have acclimatized.

I know exactly what rabble is referring to.

I love the fact that it cools down at night in Melbourne over summer!
I lived there for best part of 12 years and never really got used to it, I would sweat drying myself off after a shower.

Just shows how everyone is different.

The only thing I miss from my 2 years in Brisbane is the weather. Everything else just fades into bland obscurity

The only thing I miss is the weather too, BUT only between roughly May and September.

I think that word should belong in the banned word list.

I wasn't saying it isn't pleasant, more that once we get into Oct - May Melbourne's weather is nice enough that I wouldn't miss Brisbane's! Even May - Sept I don't have an issue with Melbourne weather, it's just that the weather is pretty spectacular in Brisbane then...not that I ever find myself wishing I was in Brisbane...even in the darkest, murky depths of July!

I like melb weather in winter, cool enough to enjoy, yet not mega serious cold as to be uncomfortable. Can be a little damp/dull though.

The months I dont like are January and February, there are some truly horrendous days, but most of Aus is horrible at that time anyway.
