  It's going to be 35C here on Tuesday  :cool: which is a little beyond a nice spring day  :eek:

 Perth, W Australia.

My eldest daughter lives there and seems to like the "hot" weather (doesn't take after me..) :rolleyes:

I reckon 20c-25c is a nice temperature range (which is what we get here in northern Tasmania in the summer)

I agree Dazz, I never understand why people want more heat than 20 - 25°C.

The average human comfortable heat range is between 20°C and 25°C, and thats not in sunshine.

When you add the sunshine you fell much more heat.

Or maybe 20°C in Iceland does not feel the same as 20°C in Australia, I dunno, I like it when it gets to 20°C, everything above that is useless.

Things vary a fair bit state to state in Australia Hemmi .. (and not just the temperature range)

A couple of examples ...

It can feel hotter in Tassie at say 20 or 25 degrees than in some other place at 30c because of the humidity...

Because our air is very clear down here (less polution than the big cities) it is also easier to get sunburnt than in some places closer to the equator... :eek:

WE have had a fair bit today about 25 or 30 mm would be my guess and it is supposed to rain for the rest of our long weekend... :'( .. so we could end up with 3 or 4 inches (Doesn't sound a lot - but it is for rain  :eek:)

   I really don't mind the hot weather but once it gets past 35C it could as well be 45C  8)
and when you get a little bit older and expect to be instantly cooled by the press of a button ... Well you end up saying "Is it just me or is it extremely hot ?"  :D

  So long as I can park my air-conditioned i30 with dark tinted windows in the shade and walk a short way to the air-cond shops (too cold in there !) and return home safely to my fully air-cond home .... then I'm happy and don't really mind the heat in Perth, W Australia but it does get cold here too!!

 :cool:

Who said the UK was small? It's been grey here all day and blowing a gale, no sun, no rain. Half the leaves are missing from the trees now though.
