Re: What's the Temperature & Weather like where you are now?

Ballarat got down to 0C early Friday morning. Dare say some people would have been dealing with ice on their cars.

Just a few days ago it was 36C in Melbourne, yesterday it was 16C with squally...

Re: Summer equals grumpy.

Cold, cloudy, wet.

It didn't even make it to 15C in Melbourne today. It only got to 11.5C in Ballarat.

Parts of southern Victoria have had 80-100mm of rain in the past two days, including the...

Mitchell Johnson has been in form in recent times, bowling 150-155km/hr and injuring batsmen.

Re: What's the Temperature & Weather like where you are now?

Exact opposite here. Wet, overcast, cold and feels more like May than November.

On the 18th of July, Melbourne broke its all time highest winter temperature with a 23.3C maximum. Since then there...

Re: The Hayfever's back

It hasn't been too bad in Victoria yet. There haven't been enough warm northerly wind days and the rye grass hasn't had a chance to flower yet. It will get worse towards the end of this month and...

Re: What's the Temperature & Weather like where you are now?

It's green at this time of year in most years. October/November (mid spring) is usually the greenest time of the year here as it is the wettest time and the sun and warmer air is starting to have an...

Re: What's the Temperature & Weather like where you are now?

Thick mist here this evening and dribbly rain. I think it only got up to around 13C or something here. Yesterday was about 27C and sunny, so a huge contrast, typical Melbourne/Victoria style spring...

Re: Whinge about the Brisbane weather

Too many generalisations. :thumbdown:

Melbourne is not as hot and dry in summer as many try to make out.

Just for a wild comparison, Melbourne is about 3C cooler on average in summer than Milan...

Re: Any truth? British Jealousy?

Australia has beaches like the one in that article anyway.

Re: Weather difference in Australia?

This summer in Melbourne has been far from typical, in fact it has been one of the hottest and driest on record, with over 100 years of reliable records.

Re: Things you notice taste different in Aus/UK

I agree that gooseberries are pretty nasty. They have hard skins, are very acid and have large gritty seeds in the middle. The taste is alright if you pick them ripe and stew them or cook them in...

Re: The snakes in Australia

I've seen two snakes in 30 years and most people I know will tell you the same. I spend a lot of time out walking in the bush and in rural areas. Many people have never seen one.
