G'day Hazel Australia's a funny place. Divided into 'zones' the temperature can play tricks on you. Head to Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and even Perth and the summer temps can be in the forties. Just ask the cricketers! Move upwards towards the equater into the 'sub-tropics' on the east coast and the temperature actually begins to fall, whilst the humidity begins to increase. Brisbane's high are usually in the mid thirties. Generally the summer temps - for about a couple of months are 28 - 34. Some days it's quite humid, other days it isn't. Offices and buildings have air-conditioning, as do cars, and parking is mostly undercover. If it was as bad as some make it sound the shopping streets of Brisbane would be full of dripping individuals flopped on the pavements. In other words it's perfectly fine. Head further north to Cairns for example, into the tropics, and the humidity does become an issue but again, only during the summer time (rainy season) when temps are regularly in the low to mid thirties and the humidity is 70% and upwards. That's why we like Brisbane. Sensible temps in the winter and the summer without too much stickyness. We moved here from North Wales. Yes, it was rather chilly. Over two years on now and we like the pleasant winters and don't fall over in the summer. It doesn't matter what other's say, unless they've experienced the climate change from cool Wales to warm Queensland over a period of time - not just a hot week - you won't be getting the full story.
