Not especially a good beginning to the day. Very blustery, threatening thunder storms, and already a very warm 25° Celsius, so the wind isn't very refreshing.
I came to live in Melbourne in Sept 2004. Before that, a North Australian: North Queenslander and Northern Territorian. Now we have the heat - admittedly for longer than Melbourne - but our seasons (two of them: wet and dry) are more predicatable and we don't get extreme cold. So there is a trade off: six months of dry which is like a beautiful mild summer and that other torrid time. But in Melbourne there is no trade-off unless it is the utter changeability of things. Why do we have to put up with extreme hit, extreme cold (together with miserable rain)?

And it got progressively worse, didn't it? Looking forward to 41 deg. on Sunday - NOT!
