I think I know what I mean

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

It's not the actual temperature that makes us feel cold, its the Change

eg: If it is normally 20.0 Â°C in the UK, and it drops to 5.0 Â°C, then it feels cold ( a drop of 15Â°C )
So.. here in Australia if it is 35.0 Â°C, and it drops by the same figure of 15Â°C, then we will feel just as cold even though it is still 20Â°C here.

Does that make sense ?

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.

Yes Brighton beach is going to be even more packed today as the London- Brighton bike race is on also and I think there is a big barbie planned as well.

spose what i'm trying to say is
we have been planning to emigrate since last october during the winter (while perth is in the 30's and we are dropping to 1-10 degrees)but now we are approaching our summer(fingers crossed)i'm thinking is the uk really that bad,do we really need the upheavel my kids are 2 & 4 so could cope with it,but after a lovely day like this does it make anyone else question why they are leaving all that they know to fly to the other side of the world for a 'better life' which could well be on their doorstep...

sorry for the waffle i'll blame that on the strongbow and the heat...

karl

How long does the weather last like that in the UK? Couple of weeks at best, maybe 6 if its a good year....In Sydney we've been here 5 months and had about 2 weeks in total of overcast/rainy weather....

Bit early. Do teach temperature in PommyLand schools or are they waiting for numeracy skills first?

Thought not

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.
