Ok, I am in Queensland, Australia & we are supposed to be in our last month of winter. We normally have mold winters here are we are sub-tropical but for the past week, we have been getting temperatures of 28 degrees celcius during the day which is a typical summer day without the humidity. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the heat & hate the cold but it's still unusual for us to get hot temps like that at this time of year. Now it is 9 pm & I should be in sweat pants & a sweat shirt but I'm still in shorts & a t-shirt...very strange. We also got a couple of afternoon summer storms last week. Now, if that's what winter is like, I am beginning to dread what this summer is going to bring.

Where I live in the United States, temperatures in the summer are around 90F during the day, 70-80F at night. At winter it can vary greatly, but usually it's about 28F during the day and about 14F at night. I can remember once seeing snow during the summer (so at least 32F) and seeing 91F during the winter. Insane!
