I've been in Sydney for a few days now. koyaanisqatsi, sorry buddy but you obviously have a ridiculously low tolerance for cold. Sydney's 19-20°C days are as warm as they sound. I haven't worn anything but short sleeves during the daytime here so far. It feels exactly as one would expect, mid-late May in northwestern Europe, even warmer in direct sunlight due to the very strong sun. Today sitting at a terrace in direct sunlight at 2pm it felt downright summery. Ok the nights are a bit nippy and markedly cooler than the days, but come on, enough with the "icy westerlies", go to any country in Western Europe or anywhere outside the Sun Belt in winter or even spring, you'll understand what icy means
Everyone go home, another guy who argues against solid climatic figures and think his city is special and "unlike what the averages suggest which you won't know because you haven't been there"
So how much snow and heavy frost did Sydney or Melbourne get, considering that they were icy?
Melbourne/Sydney suburbs had a few frosts each, with the city centre of Melbourne also recording one frost. No snow to be seen in any city/suburbs though.

B-but Melbourne really IS a subarctic craphole with 0 sunshine hours for the whole year! I swear, I live here!!!!!

After suffering through more days of terrible icy westerly winds over the past week, conditions improved vastly today with with warmer N/NE winds and looks like continuing until Tuesday next week Sydney Forecast
Will be bloody glad to have a break from that awful icy westerly and tomorrow could be the first time I will not need to don a jacket on whilst venturing outdoors.
Trees have just started to bloom - very slowly that is - and flowers are yet to do so.
Lawns still as green and lush as ever due to nearly 40mm falling during the first few days
Talk of a possible prolonged easterly wet spell from next week (mid) onwards on FB - hope this pulls off

Of course you would find it warm, we "locals" don't. Just because you've been here for a few days doesn't make you a expert
Strong sun - LOL. If you think its strong now - wait until December!
My area is much colder than the city so the city temperature is not representative of my area at all.
I know a lot of Sydneysiders that would totally disagree with you and we have a standing joke - how do we pick out those who don't hail from here - they wear "summer" clothes
Westerlies are icy and a lot of my workmates wear jumpers, along with jackets, scarves and gloves when heading outside to buy lunch/have a smoko and it would take a very hot day for us to take off winter woollies which doesn't last more than a day.
