TURN THE AIRCONDITIONER OFF!! :-)

Robyn in Ballarat where most of the time it is cold, thank goodness...

Paul .......it just IS .....OK?
Maybe it's because of global cooling?
Here in the central Vic highlands we have had cold, warm, cold again, wet, more wet, hot and humid, cold again, more wet. It's Mother Nature doing her best to confuse and irritate us.

Yes it has been a bit on the cool side, but nice for a change I like it this way with 26-27-28 degrees every day
You would not want to live anywhere else, Robyn the only time I put my A/C on is when it gets close to 40 degrees, and only at lunch time we dont need A/C here as we are used to it.. Cheers...MM.

I don't understand - how is 24-26 degrees cold? :)
I'm revelling in the warmth, even at 21-22 degrees.
I must say, though I am an ex-queenslander, and after 10 years, I have finally acclimatised to the cooler southern weather. I find it hard to tolerate the humid summer temps when I return home for Christmas. Or maybe its age....

Cold for spring here.

Stinking hot here. Every day is around 33deg. No rain but humid - around 65% most of the time. Even at 5.00am, temps are around 28deg with humidity at around 90%.

Imagine how my old mum felt the other day when the batteries went on her a/c controller and she thought she was stuck on 19 degrees until the next visitor came. Worked through that trauma over the phone.
It's not cold in Mky but the a/c only runs in the bedroom; walk past some houses and the a/cs seem to run all the time.

The last week or so has been very humid here but temps of only around 30 to 33C. I don't like humidity much, but I don't like it when temps get below 25C or so. I'm a born and bred Qlder except for a couple of years in Inverell, nice place but too cold.

RE: Why is it so cold?

Yep..... ! living in NQ seems to be the worst place on earth at the moment. The heat is just tooooo..... much . Must have a/c on all day and most nights. What's the heat going to be like in January ... ? I think we all had better head south with the raindeers . It is just sooo hot here today ... !!!

If I had the choice of 30 degrees or 15 degrees, I would choose the latter every time! I think 20-22 is the ideal temp. You can work hard in the garden and enjoy it, and everything isn't frying and wilting as you watch.
Cheers,
Dee.

I think we've forgotten what spring weather really is like. Remember before the 4 years of drought? We had cool wet spring days amongst the odd hot day.

RE: Why is it so cold?

Remember snow on Christmas day? Oh yeah - that was last year, but in Vic, not Qld.
