Temperature in Australia
 

Are there any parts of Australia where it doesn`t get too hot in the summer months and has a moderate temperature all year round?

Tasmania.

Buzzy

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Though even Tassie has its days when it hits the high 30s, and it gets down below freezing in winter.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Have a look on Wiki for the towns you are looking at.

Most have temperature / rainfall charts.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Try King Island.
Halfway between the extremes of Victoria and the extremes of Tasmania.:D

I don't recommend anywhere in W.A.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Not quite right, almost anywhere along the south coast of WA tends to be quite pleasant. Augusta is always cool in the summer, I dont think Busselton has had anything over 34c this year. Go inland though..... and you'll fry !

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

I know. I grew up in and around Northam and beyond.:wink_smile:

My missus reckons I am a typical Aussie bush pig !

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

I reckon that wherever you live you will get a few weeks of unbearable weather be it warm or cold. We are in Brisbane and I think that it is pretty good weather wise. There are only a few weeks in the middle of summer that are really really hot and unbearable, and then only a couple of weeks in winter that are freezing usually, so that makes for around 10 - 11 months of really nice weather.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Know Perth well but not keen on the heat in summer. You mention Augusta on the coast being cool, sounds much like the southern Californian coast because the moment you go inland you fry as well:curse:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Same in Perth. A couple of really hot, sticky weeks in summer and a couple of really cold wet weeks in winter. Otherwise nice.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Otherwise nice! What sort of temps are you talking about for rest of year?

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Today was sunny with cloudy periods in the low 20's. We went out for coffee on a patio then came home and worked in the garden for the afternoon. I was in shorts & singlet and was quite comfortable in the garden.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

At the moment it is spring there I believe so this would be a nice temp neither hot nor cold

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Yes, it's early spring here. Although even in summer when it's very hot during the afternoon we get the Fremantle Doctor which helps cool it off.

Everything you need to know.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

I thought you said you had lived in Australia?:confused:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Hey G, hows it going? :D

I've been really warm all day and now I'm freezing :sneaky::D

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

I'm OK thanks

Still warm here:p....a little bit of rain but still warm.....same forecast for a few days:thumbup:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

We're up and down here. One day it's hail stones and 15 degrees and the next it's 22 degrees! :confused: 29 by the end of the week, then back to 15 :D

Still, it's all good :thumbup:

How you enjoying QLD? Caught any good fish lately? :p

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Nice to hear from you again:) And I think if you bother to look above, I stated I do know Perth well and lived in Morley for an extended period of time but was not too impressed with the summers there. They are similiar to where I live at the moment and this is something I want to get away from.

If for a change you can give some helpful advice out it would be nice, instead of your normal sarcastic juvenile banter which seems to help nobody:sneaky:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Entertaining though :lol: Well he makes me laugh :sneaky: In answer to your question though, I'd say no, there's no where with those temps. Some days in Summer everywhere can be damned hot and most places in Winter can be piggin cold.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

You claim to have lived virtually everywhere....how are we supposed to keep up?

If you lived in Perth then I would have thought you would know what the climate of Australia was like.....so why the question?:confused:

Just trying to help:)

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Where I live its the same either hot or cold with little in between. Ideallly I would like to live somewhere that is neither of these. Know of a couple of countries that fit the bill but they have other issues that are non climate related.

Anyway, read that certain towns in south Vic have moderate temps but also read they also get a well know hot wind in the summer months.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Yup I agree... makes me laugh too :rofl: :rofl: But then again I have a weird sense of humour :eek:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Its not easy being an international jetsetter you know:)...............Anyway in answer to your silly question, I hardly call living 10 years in the UK a couple in South America and periods in Australia and Russia LIVING EVERYWHERE!!! You may not realize it but the world is still quite a large place.

Just because I was 6 months in Perth why would I know exactly what the climate was like in Sydney or Melbourne? I assume it would be the same hot and sunny but that is just an assumption as I am sure not all of AUS is the same. It may surprise you when I was there I didn`t spend everyday reading the weather!!!

I can find all the info about the weather in AUS quite easily on the internet but as this is A FORUM WITH FREE DISCUSSION its good to get personal opinions from people that actually live in the country. It may surprise you Mr.Grayling but THIS IS WHAT FORUMS ARE FOR!!!

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Good lord, chill! As you say, it's a public forum. To be honest, what one person considers a moderate climate, another will consider it unbearable. I don't think there's anywhere here that's moderate but that is only my opinion. What I consider perfect, other people will come on and complain how hot it's been :blink: What do you consider hot? Do you like humidity? Do you like a dry heat?

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Afraid its a bit hard to chill as the temp here is still over 30 degrees:eek: Anyway, in answer to your question. Preferibly I don`t like anything over 30 degrees unless its for a holiday or a short peiod of time. Therefore just trying to assess if any parts of Aus don`t go beyond 30 degrees (I think Tasmania doesn`t)

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

I arrived in Perth in May and have travelled so far all the way up and over and down the east side... so far I have found Australia coldish! :rofl: (with the exception of when we went to Darwin... oh and Katherine... Mount Isa was pretty hot too)..

By the time we got to Sydney a few weeks ago (and spent 1 night in the Blue Mountains) we had had enough of feeling chilly and are now in Byron Bay and going back upwards towards Noosa... am looking forward to the time that i complain that it is far too hot! :p

By way of explanation we were in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore for about a month before arriving in Oz! So it all seemed a bit cold when we arrived in May! Specially coz all we had were halter neck tops and sarongs! LOL! Not good for June July and specially not good for August... Hurray for Target I say! hehe!

Disclaimer: Husband and son were not included in the general comment about only owning sarongs/halterneck tops..

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Tassie does, it's not constantly but it does. It also goes very cold. What's the coldest you want? Trouble with houses here, whilst it may feel mild outside, it can appear freezing indoors in winter. I think you're looking in the wrong country for moderate. Can't think of anywhere that ticks all boxes - places that are moderate in winter, tend to get damned hot for a time in Summer.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Tasmania too out of the way for me. Coldest I want well I`ve applied to Canada so that gives you some idea but obviously -10 not ideal either. Saying that NZ would probably give the right balance between hot and cold.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Well, the only places in Canada you will find that don't go below -10 are in the BC lower mainland or the southern areas of Vancouver Island. The rest of the country gets both very hot and very cold. Well, with the exception of Newfoundland which just gets very cold in winter and only less cold in the summer. www.theweathernetwork.com for Canada's weather.

New Zealand sounds like it might be ok for you, although it does get cold there. Have you thought about Western US states like Oregon or Washington? They are temperate and both have some really beautiful scenery.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Know Canada well and its temperatures. BC would be fine climate wise but its property prices!!! Parts of the US have ideal tempertaures but practically impossible to get residency so that is no good. Probably NZ the best overall option in regard to English speaking countries.

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

Err, can somebody give me the temperature and moisture content for Central America at 5am every morning, I am thinking about moving either here or somewhere, cant be arsed to use informed web sites, rather look for a row on here.:lol:

Re: Temperature in Australia
 

jajajaja me too, but anyway its hot sticky and bloody horrible unless you like that type of thing.

I don`t but saying that sometimes I do, it just depends on the situation ;)
