115 days until we land in Sydney for our recce/validation![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I understand this is likely to be one of the warmer months, but what clothing should we bring with us just in case? Or is it just a case of shorts, t-shirts, swimmers etc?
I'm not being anal about being prepared, it's just that I am starting to pack up some stuff as we will hopefully be moving soon (
house sold
) and if I am packing things away I need to know what I should keep accessible. Ok, yes I am being anal, but it's half term, raining outside and I need something to occupy me

Feb in Sydney is usually when the humidity goes through the roof, so it will not always be red hot but will be close and sticky at that time of year. Usually a good few storms around then also.
I arrived in Feb the first time I ever came to Australia and it was right at the start of a major East Coast low event, it rained non stop for a week and I didn't see any sun. I thought Sydney was like a hot and sticky Manchester until it finally cleared up and the sun came out.

The long range forecast for Adelaide and Melbourne is for a La Nina induced WET month. Sorry! ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
And, it really doesn't get THAT hot, usually a max of 3 days at a time in Adelaide then you'll be cold when the change comes through (that's the weather change, not the woman problem one!) 38 to 20 in ten minutes is interesting.

Summer can be very interesting, last year I think we only had 2 or 3 days of 38+ but the year before we had about 10 days in a row!
