@Adge .......

Rainbow cheese toastie mmmmm yummmm

I lived in the top end for 17 years before moving to mid coastal NSW - this is my 3rd winter in 20 years - still really feeling it! Sitting here in 4 layers including puffer jacket and beanie with the heater on! Rainy and about 11 degrees atm.

I think @Shaz51 is up north somewhere ... ?Shaz?

Yes, well life (especially meals) would be bland & less tasty without cheese @Shaz51

Adge

far north queensland @Adge , @eth

it was 16 degrees last night and today is 21degrees

A Rainbow Cheese Toastie @eth Well that's very different.

I've never seen one of those...

We have much higher temperatures than the top end (in most of WA except the far south).

Without the humidity, that further north has.

Broome, several 1000's of Kms north of here - doesn't get as hot, but is very humid.

I found the humidity hard to bear, even when living in Brisbane (Qld) - which isn't as hot as here (either).

Adge

yes @Adge we have the humidity, and it can bee very hot in summer

It's 20C here today (apparently) @Shaz51

It's supposed to rain all weekend.

No rain yet.

Yes I knew you were in northern Qld.

Adge

There are no real mountains on the West coast.

That's one reason why the climate is very different from the east - hotter & much drier.

Mountains draw rain, & cooler temperatures.

Hence the lower rainfall, & warm winds (coming from the desert) here.

It's been getting drier & hotter (according to the weather bureau).

Annual rainfall has reduced by over 30 percent (1/3), over the past 30 years.

Adge

Here's some trivia - Broome (Pearling town) in northern WA, is only 600Km away from Darwin (NT).

Just across the border.

Adge

it seems like our Annual rainfall is increasing @Adge , @eth
