Hi there, 38C is pretty rough going. My partner and I have lived in Brisbane for 7 weeks now and have seen 37C on the 2nd day we were here. That sucked! Since that initial heatwave passed its actually been quite tolerable, with the temp getting to around 28-32 most days, and dropping to around 18-20 at night... The worst heat I've ever encountered was 41 in Rangiora in 1991...that was higher on the 'it sucks' scale than anything we've encountered in Australia so far! :-) It was near 44 where I was working yesterday here in Perth, and there's no aircon in the car. Didn't kill me, I was pretty drenched for a while there though. |

I've actually been waiting with my SLR and some slow speed film to setup on a mall rooftop carpark near to our flat, so I can photograph some of the amazing lightning storms Brisbane gets... Only problem with that is we haven't had any lightning storms, bar one tiny little rumble of distant thunder 2 weeks ago, which dropped about 5 minutes of light rain, then dissipated into a fine evening... Its just not fair! :-) It's just the wrong time of year, Chris. Most of the electrical storms hit Brisbane around mid-October to late November. |

We went close recently, but Ingrid turned north instead of south, or you'd have found out what the term "cyclonic depression" means. Alright, anticyclonic for the pedantic. Not as much wind, but incredible rain.

That's for sissies! :-) On our recent (January 25 through March 8) trip in Western Australia we had temperatures upto 47C and mostly 45C or so. No problem at all, except in Karratha and Port Hedland where the humidity made things bad ("I could have sworn I dried myself when I came out of that shower!"). Marble Bar was a chilly 45C! [1] :-) But the beer in the pub was still nice. [1] We were the talk of the time: "Tourists at *this* time of year? And two (vehicles) of them to boot!" |
