I'm getting mixed messages here. Emu tells me summer is the current season and it's probably ~41ºC outside right now but you say summer is coming. Summer is already here or just over 9 months away.  ninja edit: I say 41 because that is what the thermometer reads right now at 4pm.

Melbourne is the nice temperate city we let the tourists come see, everywhere else just burns all the non-Australian folk to ashes within a week of summer starting

I have a serious question: As a hairy Caucasian dude, I cannot fathom living in a place that breaks 100 F on a regular basis. Does Australia have giant ice tubs for people to run into between shops with AC?

I've got a bad camera, but my cat was sitting like this while we watched Netflix. He thinks Steve Avery is full of poo poo.

I went to the zoo tonight! My pictures aren't great because my phone is kinda lovely, but still. Animals! I even saw Capybaras in person for the first time ever, though they were at a bad angle for a photo, so I didn't get one. But I did get pictures of.. This otter:  An elephant about to devour this poor zookeeper  A very noble Tiger  A Kea raiding a crate  A Porcupine having dinner  And a meeting between two noble creatures.

Melbourne effectively has two seasons. 'Summer', for about two months, which has a predictable pattern of climb up over the course of a week to a heatwave, sit in the high 30s or sometimes low 40s for a few days, crash down to the 20s, and then repeat. As a result, the averages look deceptively like we have warm but comfortable summers. The rest of the year the season is basically a season I call 'miscellaneous', with it trending towards being on average cooler more often during the middle of the year but quite frankly on any given day or hour it could be anything, usually somewhere between a daily max of 15 and 30. It's really only during the heatwaves during the summer months that things are really a problem, and we just spend those months ducking from A/C to A/C, wearing as little as possible, or being in the water. It helps that Melbourne's extremely dry, humidity-wise. Of course, Melbourne is the southernmost city on the mainland. The peak of summer up north is just inhuman. Fortunately, it's mainly Queenslanders. MikeJF has a new favorite as of 11:29 on Feb 25, 2016 |

My first and so far only experience with Australian summer was in Perth over Christmas two years ago. I think the highest we hit was like 38 or 39, but honestly it was very tolerable (and I'm a person who hates heat), largely because the air is extremely dry and the wind off the Indian Ocean is strong around parts of the area (namely Fremantle). The sun can be pretty oppressive though and I'm still astounded that there aren't massive sprawling solar panels in the bush. And speaking of my Perth trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ebCRWXQRs Drone has a new favorite as of 12:58 on Feb 25, 2016 |

We don't have solar because coal is the future* * please ignore that anyone selling coal is going bankrupt because the rest of the world realises how poo poo it is I guess you could describe Australian policy as a sexy wombat stuck on the back of a tortoise. It tries to run back to a time when it was relevant but the turtle marches on in the other direction.
