I have been here 4 years and dont know if I can face another summer, its just to damn hot already

Whats the point of having this great outdoors life, a beautiful country, if its to damn hot to go out !

Anyone else feel this way

Nope ... suck it up

Beats being wet all the live long day

well you dont stay wet and at least the rain doesnt give you skin cancer !
also if your cold, you can put things on, if its to hot theres only so much you can take off..

Nope, just adapt to it and slow down accordingly.

Ive got a fan on at the moment but will turn on the air con to cool the place right down so I can get the housework done without too much effort.

Then I plant to chill out for the afternoon. I dont feel the need to go out, yes its roasting hot but its a matter of getting used to it and adapting.

Which reminds me, I must fill up my bird bath for the parrots.

Ive just got ducted air con, and couldnt be happier

It was about 42 here yesterday, and I couldnt tell!
I now think ducted air con is way better than other types we have tried.

the weather here is free so enjoy it

yes i spend more time indoors here than i do in the uk not because of the heat, the bloody flys.

good to see its not just me then, UK to cold, aus to hot, is there anywhere nice to live around the middle :P

It isn't too hot at all... but then again... where exactly are you ???

The last 31 days for us in the Redlands, 31 days to Dec 4th 2009

You won't be so impressed with it when the electric bill comes in.
I have ducted aircon and I agree with you that its brilliant... but at a cost.

Yes, the Illawarra. South of Sydney

Lovely day in Melbourne today just right. Not too hot or windy.

I live in Melbourne because we get more cool weather than hot, even though the weather can get extreme in the summer it does not day after day like the northern parts of Australia.

Thank God for the changeability too I remember on Thu, it was 33C at around 2 in the afternoon and within an hour it dropped 10 degrees! I don't think I could have survived the hot weather day in and day out.

I really hate the flies outside though

I live right on the coast in Sydney and it's rarely too hot around here. We maybe get 4-5 days a year over 35 with most summer days in the high 20's.
Absolutely perfect weather and very few flies too.

In the 30 years I've been here, I can still count the over-40 degree days I've experienced one one hand.

We are sitting outside under some shade ,kids writing out Christmas cards,having a glass of fizz,me not the kids.Bliss.
