Well, you wouldn't say it's cold here, exactly, but it is unusually cool for summer (like, around 25 degrees C or less most days). This has to be the coolest summer I've ever experienced - lots of rain, cool breeze/wind, clouds, etc. Very unusual for this part of the world during summer. I've had to wear tracksuit pants/jeans, long-sleeved tops and socks on many occassions this summer. There's only been a handful of days where it has been very hot and humid, like it normally would be here at this time of year, and only one or two days recently where it reached over 30 degrees C. I still even have to put the quilt on (and off) in bed at night. There's currently really bad flooding in some rural areas further north also. It's like summer never arrived this time round.
Even though I would prefer it to be slightly warmer, I'm not really complaining, as this type of weather for me, is much better than sweating it out in the heat and humidity. But the rain has meant an increase in mosquitos - I have a number of mozzy bites on me (especially leg area) as they get me during my sleep :evil: :roll: .
And then, there was the unusually warm winter we had last year...not to mention, the large number of natural disasters (drought, flooding, cyclones, storms, mild earthquakes, etc.) we've had in Australia the last few years (particularly the last year or two). If this strange weather is not enough proof for the climate change skeptics, then I don't know what is...All you have to do is look around you, and you can see that something's not right...
