That's nuts!!!

Kudos to you and others that move there for that lifestyle.

I prefer warmth myself.

Do you know what? I think I might

Forecast if for 20oC + this week. Easily double what it has been. Don't remember a May this cold and dark for many years.

28 where we were today, our born and bred Brisbane kids said it was too hot LOL. Luckily English heat is so much more enjoyable that that pesky Aussie heat

9C here and cloudy at 12:30pm after around 37mm of rainfall over the past couple of days.

I don't know how to convert that to UK units. I guess Chris can give me the formula.

I've never complained of being too hot at 28C. I can actually imagine at 50 degrees+ latitude where the summer sun must be pretty weak in comparison to Australia it would feel much cooler.

You can roughly convert Centigrade to Fahrenheit by doubling the original, adding 30 and taking one or (two, if it's a high number) To reverse: add one (or two) take 30 and halve the number.

It actually gets very humid in London sometimes. I was really surprised on my last visit on a 28degree day that it felt closer to a 35 degree day in Melbourne. I've never been a great heat lover. I actually had trouble sleeping at night over there.

35 without any respite from Aircon becomes a little wearing after a time. It's also why I've got my eye on a Tasmanian retirement rather than a Queensland one.
