I think I know what I mean :confused: If anyone else does ...then could you please explain it to me :D eg: If it is normally 20.0 °C in the UK, and it drops to 5.0 °C, then it feels cold ( a drop of 15°C ) So.. here in Australia if it is 35.0 °C, and it drops by the same figure of 15°C, then we will feel just as cold even though it is still 20°C here. Does that make sense ? |

Does that make sense ? makes perfect sense like here in uk we been having about 15 degrees so when it jumps up to 26 like yesterday it's like someone opening the oven door, nice weather for cricket tho.. :D cant wait to see the papers tomorrow with pictures of people packed onto brighton beach like sardines in can just enough space for their 5ft by 2ft beach towel they usually use once a year when they go to benidorm... ;) |

Good to see our panel of experts MrsD and ABC bringing some credibility to the forum. 33.something is quite low, even by Melbourne standards.

It never has swings of temp in the UK from 30+ degrees in summer to -10 in winter? Thought not :rolleyes: Lighten up, we cant have any bad publicity can we ;) Many people have pointed out the UK has less dramatic temp variations than here, I think some in the past have even done graphs n charts :D Australia has a huge variety of temps much of many states reach 48 and way above, very surpirsed most dont know that, not everyone lives on the coast. Queensland this year has had -5 and to over 50 out west, WA and SA can also experience such extremes. Victoria, even Melbourne can and does reach over 40 just because it hasnt this year doesnt mean it doesnt badge. |
