Summer equals grumpy.
 
I know it's not just me.

The hotter it gets, the grumpier people are. I've even heard that assults increase in the hot weather.

It's horrible hot already - two weeks from the start of Summer - and I'm afraid to go out because all this hot stinking weather is probably about to turn into a hot stinking rain storm all over a weeks worth of washing.

:frown:

So, what with the hot weather enervating you and the bloody koel keeping you awake at nights it sounds like a fabulous time in paradise (not! :rofl:). Keep cool!

Thanks Quoll. Your empathy is underwhelming. :lol:

It isn't just you. Summer heat makes me grumpy too. We don't get the humidity in South Australia but days over 35C and nights that don't cool down definitely affect me.
The temperatures are in the low 20's at the moment and my Canadian mother in law who arrived a few days ago from where it is just above freezing, is complaining about the cold in SA :D.
I think she will be happy when it gets to 40C ;)

I feel better in the summer also. Sydney is a summer city and comes alive more between Nov - March.

Also find that I have adjusted more to the heat now. When I first arrived I would find temps close to 30c sweltering. These days it has to get to 35c before I get a little uncomfortable but then Sydney summer climate isn't actually all that hot. Sure we get a day or two of very hot temps but a southerly change is never far away.

I agree!! My arthritis in lower back has created havoc since May, I went through winter without being able to work, first time in years. The heat is finally kicking in, lots more sleep and full of energy. The hotter it gets, better I feel :thumbsup:, but then again, I've always chased the heat and sunshine since I was a kid!

As for people being grumpy, I think you see what you feel, all it saw all winter was grumpy people, now that I'm upbeat, energetic and happy, that's all I see around me!

Yeh, but the women wear less.

In some cases this is a Bad Thing but I'm willing to overlook this. :thumbup:

I like mid 20's for the summer, once it gets into the 30's it is horrible.
