Warm Day

[johnno56]

Well, it has taken until 4th of February, for us to get what I call a warm Melbourne summer's day... A very nice 38C... at last... It is rare that we get hot days, 45C+, but it does happen... How warm does it get for other Forum members?

(Well, the forum IS listed as "Everything Else"... I suppose the weather would be included in that category... Moo Ha Ha Ha)

Slightly above 0°C here in Sweden, still winter

[johnno56]

It's pretty rare for our temperature to drop 'that' low in winter, but it has happened... The last time it snowed in Melbourne was July of 1986 but it almost melted as soon as it hit the ground.... But zero is a little too cold for me... lol

Our world is unique, one earth but it has opposite weather between the northern and southern hemisphere 
Sometimes, I just entertain myself with "the falling snow" code below ... 

Code:

Very "cool"... Nice job!

8°C, windy and rainy in Scotland.

[johnno56]

8 degrees is a little "fresh" but not too bad.... Wind and rain are old friends... Plenty of that in Melbourne during Winter/Spring...

[Tomaaz]

Do you want to swap? I'm gonna give you the Scottish weather and take the Australian in return.

[Marcus]

I really, really want to visit Scotland one day though. And Iceland and France.

Edit I suffer from severe arachnophobia and probably wouldn't last a minute in Australia

[Tomaaz]

New York and Japan are on top of my list of travelling destinations, but they would have to wait for me for another couple of years.
