Re: What's the Temperature where you are now?
Durban sounds much more humid than Brisbane then.
Humidity numbers quoted on here for Brisbane are generally wildly exaggerated! BOM put the most humid month (afternoons) as Feb at 59%. http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averag...w_040913.shtml |

Sounds fairly similar, though I'd have to check the stats to be certain and as there's football on tv and a shift change looming that'll have to wait :lol:
What's the thunderstorm activity like in Durban?

BOM put the most humid month (afternoons) as Feb at 59%. Today: Adelaide 17°C and Humidity: 82% Melbourne 15°C and Humidity: 72% Victoria Point QLD 25°C and Humidity: 65% Humidity = the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity indicates the likelihood of precipitation (rain), dew, or fog. |

15°C and Humidity: 72% When does summer start again? |
Re: What's the Temperature where you are now?
Relative humidity, which is the figure expressed as a percentage , doesn't tell the whole story. RH% is basically a measure of how close the atmosphere is to saturation point, or in other terms, when the dew point is equal to the air temperature.
The most common time for this to happen is in colder weather and overnight and in the early mornings. For example, it was 7C early this morning at my place and 100% RH, there was a heavy dew on the ground and I had to use the windscreen wipers to clear dew off my windscreen which kept forming as fast as I could remove it. Of course, it wasn't muggy though, nor was it uncomfortable or unpleasant as the dew point was the same as the temperature, a lowly 7C. In Brisbane however, when they get those 59% RH readings it is usually high 20s to low 30s temperature and the dew point is usually between around 15C and 20C, and occasionally into the low to mid 20s in summer. Basically speaking, the higher the dew point reading the higher the discomfort from the humidity as it means the temperature is higher. |

Right now in Brisbane it is 94% Humidity, but very comfortable ;)
Brisbane 21°C and Humidity: 94% compared to ... Perth 35°C and Humidity: 14% |
