(Partial truth - we sometimes allow "wind chill" factors at the cool end of the scale - and we rarely have humidity effects worth considering at the other extreme.)
Understood. I've visited those sorts of climates. Brisbane - next state capital about 1000KM north of here - gets humid. But here, most times, it's dry heat high 30s typical but when it gets over 40 humidity is down - follows the basic physics IIRC.We have wind chill in winter and humidex in summer. But even without 32 is hot add the humidity and you are sweating standing still.

Had a Swedish exchange student stay with us nearly 30 years ago. She commented "Isn't it hot" one day when it was ~30. I said - "I'll remind you when it is hot - it feels like you need to cut through the air with a machete." Some months later we had 43-44 IIRC. She agreed it was hot. Don't get many of those. Tar melts and road surfaces get ripped up by vehicle tyres. That was Sydney western suburbs which is flat plain ringed by hills and acts as a heat trap. 7-8[SUP]o[/SUP] cooler in the coastal beachside suburbs on those days.
:thumbs:All I can say is thank god for air conditioning.
Yesterday I left the motorcycle at home, hot air on the highway with riding gear on just wasnt worth it. So I sat in my little air conditioned cage and if not necessarily enjoyed the drive at least I didnt suffer. Today the bike was fine, except for the traffic I was stuck in while crossing a bridge.

Gotcha. I was City Engineer Armidale 1994-2001 before the Council went bent. So Brisbane was more often than Sydney the place to visit - except kids all around Sydney hence the move south. Prior to that one of the top two engineers in Sydney Water - before that one got politicked and the five top players pushed out 1992. These days politicians don't like to have competent and honest folk in top jobs. Needed one more "redundancy payout" to set me up - but we are surviving nicely.That's why I asked you yesterday-I'm in Brisbane and my Brass Monkey woke up neutered.

A've bin tellin folks roun' here to lock up t'brass munkiz - in pseudo Yorkshire dialect naturally.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to the alleged upside down. F'rinstance the blood flow to the head without doubt assists the superior brain activity and higher intelligence we demonstrate. Offsetting that the minor disadvantage of needing the Velcro Shoes...You upside down people with your crazy water barely freezes in winter temperatures, 6 foot tall furry grasshoppers and all kinds of creepy crawleys that are venomous even to look at. You dont know what the real world is like where we walk on our feet instead of our hands and eat normal food like steak and potatoes not wallaby and kiwi. Heck you guys are soo full of yourselves you made an entire continent your country.
Well I am not impressed! I like my bears polar, not stoned on eucalyptus. My wildlife to be edible not out to eat me and my women folk not to have funny accents, (French accent on a woman is sexy not funny so dont try and claim we have funny ones here!)

No surprise there.
He was reported for sinning grievously. His absence may be of extended duration.Maybe Koko will return once we forget about this critical breaking news.
I tend to switch off as soon as I see "it was an inside job" where "it" is undefined.Twenty days later, still no sign of Putin putting up.
