Mmm, weather

[saffronlie]

The Aussie thinks it is winter. The Pom thinks it is summer. Hilarious cross-cultural misunderstandings ensue!

We get nasty rain a bit in winter, but summer is the wet season. And it's not so winter-y today, either... I wore jeans and I needed a jacket when I was sitting outside earlier in the evening. You just try 35 degree heat -- *that* is summer!

21 degrees? Winter? Wow, it was only 17 here yesterday and I was too hot, but I'm strange like that. I was born for other climes. Like the Arctic circle, perhaps...

LOL!! Well, my part of Australia *is* in the tropics, so summer is very hot and winter is... less hot. Not cold so much as kind of dry, and windy. I love the cold, but I think I'd just die in England. I love sunshine too much! :s

is currently a hot and humid 85 degrees....

I was about to add my two cents in on the weather here when I saw your post and realized "hey. that's like exactly what it is for me too!". So I had to check where you're from. I'm a hour and a half east of you in Chapel Hill.

Today's temperature was nice in the shade. A bit toasty in the sun.

no kidding?! I'm actually moving to Durham within the month. I hang out in durham/chapel hill/carrboro area quite a bit. My bf has a band locally, etc. coolness.

:::has bad memories of a high school maths exam where we had to work out the equation for conversion::: See, even that is only about 29.4 degrees C, and that's very mild for here, it gets much hotter in summer!

If you find weather interesting, come to the US midwest. We have entirely too much of it. EXTREME weather. UGH

[saffronlie]

Oooh, I think I'll stick my extreme summers and very mild winters, thanks. ;)

Where I live we have everything. Lots of ice & snow in the winter, horrid storms with tornados in the spring, summers so hot & humid it is unbearable to be outside. Autumn is usually the nicest, but I'm partial to autumn with the leaves changing to their true colors and Halloween time. It is sometimes is very rainy though.

Don't ask me why I live here. I have all my life except for 18 months when I lived in Texas. It is my goal to move to New Orleans, but there I will deal with hurricanes. I can't win.

That sounds nice, in its way. If there's one thing we don't have here, it's the nuance of change. You basically just get six or seven months of summer, or the wet season, and then six months of not-so-hot, and the dry season. Cyclones as well, but I tell myself that everything is acceptable because there's the ocean right there.

Where exactly is 'here'?

[law_man]

21.9 hmmm thats not that bad.
850miles=1367.94km so I'd say PNG, same state or ocean.
Oh by the way, hey there!

D00d, what are you doing here?!
