If anyone else does ...then could you please explain it to me

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 ?

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,

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.

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
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.
