Welcome to the back end of this La Nina cycle, this should be the last La Nina summer for a while unless things unexpectedly reinvigorate next year.

This summer will likely be wetter than normal in Sydney with much more cloud cover. There will still be hot days of course, but wont last long so make the most of them.

I dont mind summers like this as I have been through a few El Nino summer stinkers. There will be plently of hot summers to come for Sydney so enjoy the rain and the fact everything is nice and green

And those up in Queensland get ready for another bad tropical cyclone season potentially.

It's the coldest start of summer for 50 years - so no, it's not always this cold.

The west coast did. It's been in the mid to high 30's for the past 4 days.

Was in Qld last year so witness the damage from all that rain, but it was warm & partly humid.
Unlike here we had to put the heating on last night it was just like a ice box at our place.

I wore a jumper to go out last night. I don't ever remember doing that in December, and I have been here 25 years.

Damn this global warming.....

Sorry Farideh, I'm planning on being here for good.

Unless the Australian Government want to employ me to wander around the country, bringing cooler temps and copious amounts of rain to barren areas

its days like this where i revel in the fact that although Brits are stereotypically portrayed as having an unhealthy interest in moaning about the weather, Australians hypocritically wont stop whinging about it.

I am loving the rain, I have severe dry eyes and this rain and humidity is a welcome relief.
