You can keep that all to yourself lol we've just had 2wks of 35-40C weather and some of the worst electrical storms I've seen since being in Canada, never turned my PC off so many times.

Do you not have air conditioning or a basement you can go to?

[Stu]

i know how you feel...

I don't. It's been very cold and rainy down here (winter). Infact we actually had some snow in areas which had never seen snow EVER (well, maybe in the last ice age). Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky

But summer for us is like that, very hot, not very humid though.

it's disgusting here at the moment, it hits you as soon as you walk outside and you're instantly drenched in sweat. its the sticky kind of sweat too which makes it nastier.

what doesnt help either, is the fact the AC in the office is shite. so the smart arses have put one fan blowing about in the middle of our section (in the opposite direction to me i might add). really helpful

And when you live in the middle of no where (Central West NSW), you wouldn't expect to get any snow at all. Nonetheless, we had a forecast that Dubbo (city where I live) was going to receive it's first snowfall EVER! Thing is, it ended up raining the night before so we didn't end up getting any

I'm so glad I was in Newcastle/Hunter Valley weeks back though... man those storms were absolutely shocking!

Enjoy your snow Bug, been in Orange when it's snowed. The world is definately changing temps aus is getting colder winters and Canada is getting warmer winters and hotter summers.

[Bug]

The thing is, it didn't snow!

Dad works on the XPT from Dubbo to Sydney though and he passes through it regularly

[Stu]

Can you please sent some of that over here please?

go about everyday life in it for a week and you will soon change your tune!

its alright when youre sat around on holiday with a pool there to cool off in, but not so nice when you have to walk in it, or drive in it with your work clothes on.

[Matt L]

you could say the same about terrential downpour. apart from sitting out by the pool in it.

They're calling for rain tonight so hopefully it will cool things down.

My house has central air, so its cool everywhere. Thats why I stay inside Went out side for a bit to see what it was actually like, I can't imagine doing something out in that heat!

Yeah that's true. Very sticky I would imagine.

Just the UK hasn't seen much summer this year.

yeh it is, some rather undesireable odours floating around the office this time of year too. ugh.

Matt L - at least you could use an umbrella to escape the rain though, or go by car, train, bus etc. but try escaping the heat, its just not possible.

my personal preferance is i'd rather be in the cold with it pissing it down, than in this type of heat.

[Bug]

Exactly!

Cold / Winter = Pure pwnage! This topic proves it! LOL!

hey, i said this kind of heat! id still prefer to be somewhere like spain where its not so humid and you get a nice breeze!

here in the winter is really nice though, the sun is always out but the wind is cool, in the mornings and night its jumper weather but during the day its great. reminds me of an english summer (this year being an exception of course), just without the wasps!

[Ben]

Yeah I have to say winter beats summer by a lot.
