Humidity does not stop the sun shining as much as you think it does. I found one where you said winters in Brisbane are similar to Summer in the UK and I liked that comment!
I got the impression this website was set on making out that the UK is just this terrible place to live and we never see sunshine. I just hate reading comments by people making out that we have terrible weather year round and then comments making out Australia to be perfect. I know people who have visited Queensland in the Summer planning for this dream holiday, just to be disappointed by rain as Australia is marketed as somewhere that it never rains.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. All personal taste at the end of the day! The height of summer, probably January and February, can be too hot for some people and that is storm season. And yes, I am very happy in Brisbane, but also very glad I had my time in the UK so I could also enjoy holidays in Europe and see that side of the world.
Hi Bob, Horses for courses indeed. By temperature drop i meant that usually early in the morning during winter my favourite season when i go to work the temperature can be at single digits. One thing i forgot to comment is that your website has some really good info about the country that may help anyone who wants to move here. Good work. I think i will have a cold beer now. But come late morning, most will wish they did have shorts on. One thing we do agree on though Anthony, beer is best served cold here.
Thanks for the kind words, Bob. Hi Bob, Please curb your enthusiasm about the hot weather here in Brisbane. It is simply rubbish. Live a few years here and you will see.
It is more than 6 weeks of humidity sometimes it stretches all the way to March. Shorts all year round eh? Even in June July when the temperature drops? But i agree it is a personal choice and if you like that sort of thing then great.
One more thing to note that not everyone has Air Con or a swimming pool or both. Heat can be tolerated but humidity takes the energy out of you.
In times likes these Canada looks mighty good. Oh…Tasmania too!! Sometimes it is really hot and a bit too humid, like right now. But I can put up with it and for me it really does only seem to be around five or six weeks a year that it feels like this, all the other time I am just fine with it.
By the way, I do have air-conditioning, but even last night as warm as it was I did not use it, we just had the fans on high in all the bedrooms with the windows open. After dark though, I have occasionally been known to put on long trousers. Horses for courses…. What a scorcher! The real heat and humidity of Australia is without a doubt, Western Australia, particularly the north tropical regions which I have lived for 3 years.
The West is burdened with winds straight off central Australian deserts which bring dry hot conditions throughout W. The weather is unbearable for those not used to it, which is why you will never see a tourist here in the warmer months, only the locals who still work all year round in the weather and know the secrets to surviving.
A few cold beers and a hope to see the approaching thunderstorms bring rain. The West Australians are the toughest breed you will likely ever meet, and can go hours without water or food and still feel fine. Adaption is the key, and cold beer helps. Call that humidity?
That sounds like a cool winters day to us here on the east! And at that point, I might just fancy a small sip of water. Seriously though, I know I have it easy when it comes to humidity here in Brisbane, so what you have to go through up there sounds pretty tough going. It sounds like a nice situation. But not as much as our winters. Here in Upstate New York we have had a typical extreme of c to 33c since January. We have high humidity for a few days each week in summers and almost no humidity in the winter.
We also have lake effect snow worth a wiki look up that brought the usual 3 meters of snow this past winter our record stands at cm. I am glad that Australia is capable of accommodating both of us, Bob. This lifts your spirits, even if you have to rug up. In Sydney, and more so in Melbourne, there are cold winds from the south pole; the penguinnian winds.
They can be cold; you see people wearing heavy overcoats and padded jackets. In Brisbane and Sydney there is almost never any frost; that has to be a good thing. And many Brisbanites, like Bob, wear shorts all the year round. I grew up on the Darling Downs, west of the mountain range to the west of Brisbane. There were many frosty mornings there. Bob would have had a very different judgment. Bitter is the precise description.
Sunshine though, for sure, lifts the spirits, it puts a smile on your face. I think it does good things to that part of your brain that makes you happy. I feel for you, I really do. Even though it is as hot as it is here, I have only ever put my air-conditioning on during the day twice this year.
At night, maybe six or seven times. My house is on a bit of a hill and catches some good breezes and all the windows are open all of the time. Humidity is a personal thing and everyone reacts differently to it. I suppose the only way to find out how you go with it is to give it a try. Thanks for taking the time to let us know how it for you, cheers, Bob.
Hi Bob, I appreciate your point of view. You have to understand that there are many people who find hot weather, particularly humid, hot weather, very stressful.
And those same people can find English weather comfortable. I know. Chinese consumers welcome Australian products as China sets new record in Singles' Day sales. With Thailand's sex industry shuttered, Dao's savings are almost gone and she's struggling to provide for her family.

It depends what kind of heat you like! Adelaide is far cooler for most of the year but when it gets hot, it gets really hot. I find Adelaide houses are built to disperse heat quickly, but as it is quite cool for most of the year, it can feel very cold indeed from Easter until about November! So personally I vastly prefer the weather in Brisbane. We live on the river and we get beautiful afternoon breezes through our place. The humidity can get up but it never gets unbearable hot - it always seems to be a consistent 30 degrees in summer months.
I think everyone finds their own coping mechanism to deal with the humidity. We find the lovely warm winter months more than compensate. The only thing I dislike about being up here is the lack of light in the evenings. Not having daylight savings is a real shame. But it's a small gripe! OP, Talcum Powder gets a lot of use in our house - in shoes, and on sweaty body parts. It helps, briefly.
