The Weather in Oz

The weather in Oz is definitely hot, however it did get chilly in winter. The days were beautiful in winter but the nights were quite cold, the temps in the daytime were low to mid 20's, but the nights dropped to 10 degrees. Now that doesn't sound that cold does it??!, but when you add in that there is no central heating and the houses are made from wood & a bit of plaster board, equals flimsy enough for the big bad wolf to blow them down!!!! It did feel really cold, I discovered a hot water bottle, it was strapped to my back for 2 months to keep warm on a night!!!.

However it is spring now & it has certainly warmed up!!!. I seriously cannot remember the last time that it rained here, which is quite good for someone from the U.K, but on a serious note it is not good for the dams!!!. The last time I can remember that it rained & it did rain was prob about June!!.

I went to the park today with some friends I got there at 9.30am & left at 11am, I was in and out of the sun & look at the state of my back (I have attached a pic!)!!!. It is really scary as the heat to me does not feel as hot as in Spain, but look how much it burns you in such a short time!!!.

The video is of a dust storm that we had last week, it was bizarre me & Megan were in the park it was quite sunny blue sky then all of the Sudden it looked like the world was gonna end!!. It lasted all day, it was a dust storm from South Australia, the worst apparently in 70 years. Everything was covered in orange dust, ah well it made me wash our car the first time since we bought it in May!!!!.
