Magical Temperatures.
Bearing in mind its still Winter here I am wondering how come the temp is currently 27 degrees. Nothing wrong with 27 quite pleasant in fact, however if I am to read the tourist brochures or weather websites I can be assured of a average in Summer of 29 degrees.
Now anybody living here knows damn well that between now and December the temps are not only going to go up 2degrees. Anybody out there know how come so much cr** is printed about OZ weather. There was a Business on the main highway here put up one of those big digital thermometers on his building, in Summer it was constantly reading high 30's low 40,s funnily enough same as my Honda gave for the outside temp, however the news was blurting out 33. Council made him pull it down. I smell a rat - honestly tho I dont get it? |
I'd trust the official figures over a roadside sign or in-car gauge.
Aren't weather station thermometers kept in a vented box in a shaded location and at a certain height above the ground ?. Those constants are hard to reproduce in a car or on the side of a building. I had two digital thermometers in the UK. I put them side-by-side and got different readings by a couple of degrees. |

I shall endeavour to spend my last summer here in a shaded location, levitating a certain height off the ground, whilst wearing a vented wooden dress :) :) |

It's all in the cutting," opines Gérard M. Wilson (40), an Englishman with eastern European roots, a fashion creator, and an interior designer. HE CAN DRESS a person in most anything, from perfectly fitted suits through paper cards to "well-cut" wooden dresses. And for a change he "dresses" furniture of all types with the nonchalance of a first-rate tailor. A restless multi-talent |

After this last week, it's clear that 100F is hard to hit in the UK. |

you seem to be confusing 'averages' with 'maximums' ie on order to average 29 deg's during the day it has to go far above that as a maximum the official temperature is given out by the respective met office. anything else is not considered correct. cheers richard |
The official temps are all in the shade - the car and side of the building temps are taken in the sun which sometimes adds 10 degrees.
It doesn't get THAT much hotter in Brisbane in summer than winter but in summer it's humid which feels much much hotter. |

Originally posted by Jolyn It doesn't get THAT much hotter in Brisbane in summer than winter but in summer it's humid which feels much much hotter. Yes it does. 36C is definitiely hotter than 26C as you may have noticed in UK recently. |
Originally posted by jayr Yes it does. 36C is definitiely hotter than 26C as you may have noticed in UK recently. In the uk the difference is at least twice that winter 0C summer 20C, so you have less temp change to worry about here than in the UK. This is just looking at typical not the extremes. |
