Well you're obviously hanging out with different Cain Toads to me.

Brisbane weather is fantastic, day time temps never get too far into the 30's in summer for an extended period and never drop far below 20 in winter for an extended period. It's just mild, beautiful weather for most of the year. This summer has been particularly mild.

I always found it way too humid for me. Detest humidity. It hates me as well :-(

Re: UK to australia
 

I love humidity, it's great for your skin. Dry heat and cold cause you to be constantly moisturising, I prefer to do it just once or twice a day.

Re: UK to australia
 

Depends on your skin type, mine loathes humidity :(

Re: UK to australia
 

Snap. My skin and body hates it

Re: UK to australia
 

Mine likes it and even the kid with the allergies finds it better because her skin isn't as dry and itchy. She's suffering at the moment though, her legs have been infected for months, she needs more antibiotics again so have to take her back to the doctor tonight. Family friends have a daughter in her 20's who has suffered with sever eczema her whole life and had the same infections on her legs as Em does. Turns out to be a different strain of staf carried in the body of people with severe allergies so going to get a nasal swab done today before the next round of antibiotics.

Watch those skin cancers. Apparently that's reserved for Brisbane :)

Re: UK to australia
 

Tell that to Moses. I live in Sydney. We don't get snow and the weather for the most part doesn't get the extremes of Melb ir Bris. I'm just the middle man here.

To be fair we have had good weather really for us in the Peak District so far at this time of year and this past week has been beautiful, we have been gardening, walking in the Peak and sat outside having meals etc we all look really well spending time outdoors, our youngest said yesterday its more of a pleasure enjoying the good weather here than it was in Aus, I know in Perth we had plenty more sunshine and it was guaranteed every year, you could plan a bbq months ahead lol but late Spring/Summer and early Autumn for us was not a pleasure way, way to hot to enjoy but I do now and again miss the thought of having a consistent Summer but that's northern Europe for you, it still does not stop you enjoying a huge amount living in this part of the world has to offer though.

Re: UK to australia
 

I live in Scotland... didn't say it did stop anyone from enjoying? confused...

Re: UK to australia
 

eh? you don't normally get burnt in Scotland... it was quite a novelty! :rofl:

Re: UK to australia
 

Enjoy your annual dose of vitamin D. :)

Re: UK to australia
 

:lol: I posted similar in the NZ forum regarding weather and it's funny how people see and feel weather. I have to agree with brits1 and we've had similar weather here for the last week. I don't feel that the weather is as bad as people try to make it and as I said, an overcast day feels a lot more brighter here in the West, than an overcast day in some huge city for me personally.






In parts of OZ, it would either rain all day, or it would be far too hot. Here it can rain in the morning, but you know it will clear up and you'll get a good evening with pleasant temps. Northern Europe certainly has it's advantages too and if I want sun during winter, I can easily travel to Spain.






If I was retired, I would still rather prefer to stay here from March to October and just spend 4 months in Spain (That's the plan, but far away:ohmy:). While the summers might be more consistent over there, I would actually get bored after a while.

Sorry it was meant for BEOZ.
