Re: when does the humidity drop
I think some of you guys want to try working outside in it all day to really feel what its like. Im in Cairns and the other week whilst at work needed the toilet, went open me fly's and wonderd if id allready been to the toilet as me shorts were that wet with sweat
Iwould like to think im a pretty fit lad but up hear you sweat from the minute you start work to the minute you finish. You just got to get on with it!

Re: when does the humidity drop
The last few days have been ok down here (bit south of Coomera) it's been a lot less humid, clear and very bright since the storm a few days ago but I could feel the humidity building again this evening so have the air cond on now. (10pm)
We try to manage without the air con as much as possible, if you do have it on run it at about 24 degrees, or just on a "Dry" rather than "chill" setting if you have one, also use fans as much as possible.
We only have fans in the bedrooms and nothing but sheets on the beds and we're usually quite cool by the end of the night, soon as the sun gets up it's a different story though.
I've given up trying to do anything outside now (can't even face putting the remaining patio furniture back together) just too hot for most things during the day.....other than beach or shopping in an air con mall
The kids are drained by the time they come home from school and usually need frozen cokes before they come round

Re: when does the humidity drop
I was surprised how much more humid it appeared in Brisbane CBD from where we are - five minutes from the ocean, when we were up there in the holidays. Coomera should be better than Brissie but if your husband is going to have to commute every day you don't really want to be any further south.
Hot and humid weather in the UK is totally different from hot and humid here. In the UK it happens a few days a year and tends to take people by surprise and the clothing is not ideal for it. Here, it creeps up slowly, you acclimatise, and after a few weeks you honestly don't notice it so much. If your husband is in a office in Brissie he's likely going to be in an air conditioned building so he may feel it more at hope but honestly, you get used to it and you're dressed for it and your lifestyle adapts to the climate.

Alan Hutton ... sounds like a old-school midfielder ... not a glamourous as someone like Nedveski Whodaynickyabollockov ... Alan Hutton, I bet he likes some meat pie and gravy, top bloke is Alan.

He might like meat pie & spud but the new coach - Ramos - has imposed a 'healthy' diet - no ketchup for Tom Huddlestone for eg. Better not talk to much about football but I'm OBSESSED with it now. In some ways it's even better in OZ - stay up all night watching the Premier League from England then watch both AFL & NRL during the day - Go The Swans, Go The Bulldogs!
