I understand....and feel your pain (I too hate cloud and cold). Your post reminds me why me and oceanic climates like Melbounre, New Zealand, the PNW of Canada/USA, NW Europe...etc would never get along.

I would book a vacation to Brisbane if money permits.

So, heat lovers, read this: in amazing Buenos Aires we are having 34 celsius, but, since the humidity is high, the heat index is 39c

TODAYS GOTTA BE THE WORST DAY OF THE HEATWAVE, and thats a lot to say.
Walking in the scorching sun today at 40c heat index at noon in the downtown full of people and then jumping into a crowded bus with no a/c was.....


I have no words for this huge nightmare. Im not sleeping anymore, so im just going through this like a zombie, living in a nightmare, waiting to wake up.

There is ONLY ONE DAY above the average in the forecast, with one smack bang on average and during the remaining 5 days the HIGHEST temp we can expect is 20C. That is FIVE DAYS OF THE SEVEN WITH HIGHS 3C OR MORE BELOW THE AVERAGE

Now, lets check the lows.... only ONE night is expected to be above average, a second night is forecasted to be 12C (0.6C BELOW average) and the remaining FIVE nights are all forecasted to be 2-4C BELOW AVERAGE.

So, do a bit of research before mouthing off at me you little toss. Furthermore, it is so typical of your kind to tell people who don't like their climate to "move", while naturally failing to consider the facts that might make your naive little suggestion a non-existent reality... never thought of the fact that we might have jobs, family, career, financial situation, personal status, friendships among other things which makes a split-second decision to uproot at a whim not practicable or impossible. So bloody typical, you can just screw off you know-it-all but typically uninformed messiah

22C is the average for the month, the first week you average around 19C. It's hardly untypical weather is it so stop bloody whining for a change

At what point would you choose an Oceanic climate, over a warm summer climate? Would you choose Melbourne over Boston, for example?

I would pick Melbourne over anywhere north of Richmond Virginia

Way too dry this spring,

Given that most gardening here was not designed to look good with a distinct dry season.
Many plants and trees are yellowing or dying

Geraldton, western Australia by contrast still looks good at the end of summer because it looks like most gardeners plan for a long dry season.

I don't blame you, those temperatures and humidity without AC must be unbearable! I wouldn't be able to sleep! And it's not even summer in BA yet!

It is unbearable! Yesterday night i tried everything: froze the sheets, put the plate with the ice in front of the fan to make "cold air" (?), slept hugging blocks of ice. Nothing worked: the sheets got hot as soon as they touched the hot mattress, the plate with the ice didnt give "cold air" at all, and the ice thing was hot when i woke up in the middle of the night. Im tired of sleeping 3 hours a night cause of this heat. I already lived an entire summer with insane temperatures and that was ENOUGH. But at least last year extreme heat had the dignity to start in january!!!!
