Moving to Australia for the Weather?

13 January 2012 Australian Climate

This week, on various different days, communities in and around Brisbane have been marking the anniversary of last year’s floods. As the reporter in the video says, the weather around Brisbane this week has been absolutely glorious. He’s right, it has been truly scorchio. Temperatures have been reaching between 32° and 37°C. So it does [...]

A Letter from the Premier of Queensland!

21 November 2011 Australian Climate

For me? Yes, a letter from the Premier of Queensland, Anna Bligh, for me. Although it has to be noted that the letter was addressed to “Fellow Queenslanders” and not me personally. It appears this same letter has gone to the other 4.3 million or so people that live in the state as well. But, [...]

Australia: One Extreme to Another

18 November 2011 Australian Climate

If it doesn’t rain by tomorrow morning, and it’s your not looking like it’s going to, Brisbane will have recorded its driest start to November on record. The record it will beat is 18 days without rain in November of 1915. Apparently it was also quite dry back in 1842, but as Weather Channel meteorologist [...]

What Do You Do With a Coat Stand in Australia?

12 October 2011 Australian Climate

This year, Brisbane apparently had its coldest winter for 11 years. As I write this, winter is well and truly behind us. Today was not exactly scorchio, but it was a beautiful clear and sunny day with temperatures hitting around 28°C. That’s about 82°F or so. But when I wrote this article for the August [...]

Australia’s Climate: What Next?

21 September 2011 Australian Climate

On Monday I was moaning because I didn’t really have the time to get over to see the Redcliffe Festival. Well, guess who went to Redcliffe yesterday? And…. Swam in the lagoon…… Had fun on the beach….. Played in the sand…. Climbed on the humongous tree… That’s right! Elizabeth with her mummy and some friends. [...]

The Five Day Weather Backcast for Brisbane

31 August 2011 Australian Climate

Today is the last day of winter here in Australia. I decided to provide you with a five-day weather backcast, because I find them far more accurate than weather forecasts. Frankly, you’d need to be psychic to predict what happened here in the last five days. Saturday As I said in Mondays post, Saturday it [...]

It Was a Hot Day

27 July 2011 Australian Climate

It is a little ironic that today’s reprint of my article for Australia and New Zealand magazine is called “It Was a Hot Day”. As you probably know, only a couple of weeks ago I was experiencing some “Very Cold Days” whilst holidaying in Tasmania. But as I write these articles a few months in [...]

Australia vs England: The Weather

13 July 2011 Australian Climate

It’s around this time of the year I like to do my Australia vs England, winter vs summer weather comparison. Traditionally, I go to Google and take a snapshot of the weather in London and Brisbane, then compare the two. I do it in July which is the middle of winter here and summer in [...]
