We agree it is the best kind - we get 8 months of it up here

Ah! I misread that. I like the seasons down here. Just as you start getting bored with one another comes along.

Must admit that the rain's getting a little passÃ© now.

I reckon I prefer Melbourne's climate for 5 months of the year, and Brisbane's for 7.

Just think, all that water will be hitting the Murray just as the winter deluge starts.

Love humidity, it's why we moved here (well to be honest the lure of sweaty bastards who don't wear deo was too tempting, nothing beats that smell.

The bogans are like so the best at that.

It's odd but my hair used to go far frizzier in damp weather in the UK than it ever has done here, don't know why but I've not had the frizzies in five years.

Re: Humidty

Thanks for enlightening OZE, I was wondering why I can't breathe yesterday even after opening all windows of my house. It adds another element of dynamism to variegated Melbourne's weather

Re: Humidty

I'm hating it. Kids can't sleep (they are still up as I type and their normal bedtime is 7.30!

) which means I don't get my quiet time in the evening. So me = grumpy

And the house is sweating!

But in 7 years i have never know our humidity to be 88%!! My evaporative aircon is making my tiles like a skating rink lol.

Would hate to live further north for this reason

Just in case anyone doesnt get the gist this is supposed to be a slightly tongue in cheek thread to lighten the mood. Also a probe into the minds of the strange people that like humidity.

I'd also like to do a very simple poll....

You do get used to it I hardly ever used my air con in CQ as long as I had the fans on and all my doors and windows were fitted with security screens and most of them were left open all the time even in winter. I actually sat with a towel wrapped around me here (perth)at the weekend as I felt really cold even though the temp was in the high 30's!
