What is your point Have you done any research about Australia yet?
Would be a good thing to google the climate
We got 20-25 degrees celsius in Perth at the moment, and it is winter time.

The only place you're going to find the type of temperatures you want is in Tasmania. Really, if you hate the heat and want a temperate climate you should take a look at New Zealand.

For weather we looked at the averages for each place -

type in Australia and then you'll be able to pick the major cities and it'll show you the monthly average etc.

Inquiring/interviewing is part of research, isnt it?

You see, I was just asking your personal opinions/inputs here in order for me to "somehow" validate or confirm what i've "extensively" researched on the internet. For instance, I checked this month's weather forecast for Adelaide and it ranges from 7-19 C, but this figure sorta contradicts "claims" of most people that Adelaide is too hot and very humid a city. In addition, this "somehow" contradicts Dorothy's claim that it is "only Tasmania with this kind of weather (10-25C). So whos telling the truth then??? Which is which???? I would say ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Sometimes its better to rely on actual/personal experiences as well to get a complete picture of the facts. After all that is what "research" (or due diligence) PER SE is all about. Verify when in doubt to get the facts straight.

Innojuk, you'd better start your own "extensive research" of what researching is all about.

The End.

Adelaide broke the record last summer as Australias hottest capital city...humidity is zero here during summer, we have dry dessert heat, especially when a north wind is blowing.

Sydney, Brisbane ,Darwin have humid summers, .
Hobart Tasmania, has a mild summer 28 c being a Hot day.........mm

I would say look at work choices, which part of aus offers you and your oh the most work , your oh may land in a job he hates and be unable to change due to lack of choice, so i would make this my priority.

Secondly i would consider schooling, can you afford private education, if not , i would investigate the best state schools in aus.

As a comparison 20 celsius UK feels like 25 celsius in Oz because of the high
humidity (Scotland) also coastal areas in any city will be cooler in summer
and warmer in winter than the stated average.
approx. 5 degrees cooler in summer (day)
5 degrees warmer winter at night

7-19°C in Adelaide is because its winter time in Australia! But once the winter is over it will get hot, very hot. .

When I lived in Adelaide the summers were HOT. The daily average during December, January and Feb was about 37C. While it does cool down at night it's not by much. We were over in January visiting friends and it was up in the high 30's low 40's for the entire 10 days.

As someone else said, it's winter here in Australia, so it's much cooler. Today in Perth it's currently 23 and it feels cool. We've been out for lunch today and I wore jeans and a cable knit jumper over a t-shirt.

If you want 20-25 degree days in summer you will not find them on the mainland of Australia. You will either have to go to Tasmania or New Zealand.
