I was just searching about a particular type of palm on another forum & I came across an old post from someone in Rhodes, Greece. He said he get gets 2 weeks of 47C temperatures every August & in June as high as 51C! The record high for Rhodes, as far as I can make out, is 41C
When people say "the average low doesn't matter because I'm not out in the middle of the night" the low temperature occurs in the early morning right before sunrise...idiot.
For some reason, people seem to have this obsession that February is the coldest month and conversely August is the hottest month. I know it's true for certain locations but where these people post from it's usually January and July. I especially find it funny when people from the Midwest say February is the coldest month when in the grand majority of the Midwest, February is actually the warmest winter month.
When people use the "you don't live here, so how do you know?" argument when trying to disprove you. Yes, because looking up data is so difficult in 2015.
When people say that the whole of Australia is 40°C every day in the summer.
It is only the Desert/Pilbara regions.
Like Hobart is 40°C every day.
Likewise, people say that everyone in FL thinks 10 C is cold. I'm sure in Tallahassee where in winter the average low is 4 C they think 10 C is absolutely freezing.
I love how everyone from other regions of the country loves to lump all of FL into one category, not realizing that you can drive 600 miles here and be within the state still.

With Victoria, people think that the entire state is always rainy. They forget about Mildura in the far north-west, which is semi-arid. I'll forgive that.
What's the absolute worst, is people saying that Melbourne has the coldest winters in the country. You would not believe how common that is. It's like Canberra/Hobart don't exist.

Lol Victoria sounds like Washington state here. People think all of Washington is this gloomy, rainy climate not realizing the eastern part of the state is essentially a desert.
What I notice a lot of people do here is associate Anchorage with winter cold, not realizing the most of the upper Midwest is much colder than Anchorage in winter. I guess people think "hey, it's Alaska. It must be colder."
I notice Americans make blanket statements about Canada as well, when Southern Ontario is hardly an arctic climate lol. People seem to think Canada is cold even in mid-summer here. I went to Canada in mid-July 2005 and you can't believe how many "was it cold?" questions I got. It was actually really hot when I went, 30-35 C with high humidity levels.

Yeah, I think Melbourne and Seattle are similar. I wonder if people from Detroit think that Toronto is much colder lol.
I kinda get the Alaska thing, I thought that way until I started discovering many other climates.
Also, Queensland is called "The Sunshine State". It can be quite cloudy on the coast in the summer. I believe Florida also has this nickname.
