Its 6am and im locking up before we leave for work. Its farkn freezing. I saw the red glow from my wife’s brake light from the bathroom and took this photo on my phone. Everytime i look at it i feel like im about to go to work.
Edit: Im in Melbourne
In the N. hemisphere we’re just getting in to summer, so shouldn’t it be an approximate match in the S. hemisphere for winter? And yet it’s already super-cold in Oz…?
Idk where in the northern hemisphere you are but Europe is already getting burned to a crisp for a few weeks now.
Yeah, I understand. 🙁
I was simply referring to one of the traditional measures of summer, i.e. the months June, July & August.
In Melbourne now we’re in winter and waking up to 9C mornings. That’s bloody cold for me
You’re a warm-weather soul, I take it.
Here in the Midwest (United Sadness of America) we’re routinely below 0°C, often with a fierce wind that kicks off the Great Lakes to make for windchill temperatures of around -18°C. I can’t even imagine living in Canada…
Bloody hell thats cold! I grew up in Queensland with high 30 to 40C summers plus humidity. -18C sounds insane to me lol
Ah, you got me with the 40°C plus humidity. As someone who hates air conditioners, I’d just be dead. XD
… Dec 5th is warm where you are?
For OP, yes. That would be around early summer in Australasia.
Not talking to OP, talking to you. You might just be getting into summer, but it’s June 5th. Equivalent to Dec 5th for sunlight hours in the northern hemisphere. Is that usually warm for you?
I don’t seem to be following you. In the N. hemisphere, summers are generally warm, and winters are generally cold. At least, that’s generally been my impression living in various places in the States. And yes, I know winters can be very mild in various states / areas of the country.
You expressed incredulity that it’s already super cold in wherever OP lives, even though summer just began in the north. I was attempting to ground your perception in how it is around the same time of year for you as it is for them currently. Summer tends to pick up steam a little slower than winter does, mostly because the lows of winter are much lower than the highs of summer (comparing difference of temp to room temp and where most people start to think it’s cold vs where they start to think it’s hot)
You are allowed to answer questions even if you don’t know where they’re leading, we’re talking about weather, I’m not going to trap you into supporting some weird shit or anything.
Though, honestly, it’s probably on me and my 'tism for why this went off-rails.
“Incredulity” is probably a bit much, but yeah, I was curious. More conversationally than in terms of quantifiable pursuit, I’d say. In truth, regional differences in temp make any broad sweeping strokes about these things pretty-well useless, I suspect.

Lol… well, you can always try.

Hmm, that’s interesting. So in this case it manifested as a need to ‘calibrate me’ upon the points you were making? Me, I might just be on the spectrum myself, but I’m sadly not very good about self-awareness in terms of communication. Also on my end, being half-asleep due to my chronic health issue probably isn’t helping add clarity…
And I hate to go to work in the summer too…
That’s a pretty neat glow from the brake light you captured there.
forget the winter and mornings!
Winter at the beginning of June? Which planet is that?
The other half of the planet.
The bottom half
