Oh yes, the country that's 5th in the world in COVID cases, with the highest death rate in the world per capita and all the sports pages have gone bankrupt and defunct. Yeah...

We were one of the first leagues in South America to get back into action, and it was still in August. Although that's only because South America got hit hard later than Europe. I mean, you'd expect a country with more international trophies than England to have something to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get they don't have AC's, we don't have AC's in Lima either where it can get up to 35 in the summer. I've found strategies to overcome that.

Case in point where I live in Chicago v my home town. Winter is almost worse in my hometown even though it doesn't get to freezing just but virtue the ambient temperature is the same inside and out.

I mean Lima isn't as bad as Canada but in Peru we get down to 16 degrees but it feels much colder than that. I felt the same way when I was in Queenstown. I went in the summer and in the morning I was shaking even though it was like 14. Here in Canada it's only truly cold once it hits below freezing.

Spike Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The brutal heat of where I am from is almost unfair to life. I can hardly fathom how anything can survive constant heat from the sun and the ground exasperated by a weak ozone layer. 45’ is typical, 35’ feels like sweet breeze. It is almost inescapable and makes you really appreciate a garden hose over a shade cloth with a cold beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm comfortable anywhere between 10 and 30 degrees. 30-35 is a bit yuck, but can be okay if dry, or a little breezy. 35-40 is disgusting and over 40 is just literally gross.

Is there winter in coastal Australia?, i thought the climate was basically tropical all over it bar the central desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal Australia covers half of the southern-hemisphere. The further south one travels along the east coast the colder it is, once past Sydney and towards southern-Victoria and Tasmania it does get quite cold, they are temperate. Australia is tropical in Northern-Queensland and the north coastline of Northern Territory and Western-Australia. All along most of the coast of Queensland it is semi or sub-tropical, west-Queensland and New South Wales is mainly arid but slowly transforms into desert when meeting the south of the Northern Territory and north South-Australia. Perth and Adelaide are mediterranean making great wine country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow don't know why i thought that, winter temps on Sidney and Perth are extremely similar to Buenos Aires, both are similar to BA all year round bar the winter months on Perth where BA's average highs are a little lower and two months in summer in Sidney where BA's average highs are a little higher. Though it's quite more humid here so winters are colder and summers hotters despite similar temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get the australian plague locust in illawarra? that shit must have hit my hometown in '03 I reckon. Big nasty fuckers, millions of the cunts, it was like a bible passage. It was also during a low point in the town, it really hadn't recovered from the wool market crash of the 90s yet. I remember we'd be outside and hitting the bastards with the tennis racket, straight out of the air. Of course the next year it was flies. They are always terrible but in 04/05 it was something else, I couldn't sit in class without one of the bastards flying up my nose or ears.

That shit is dope when it hits on a 40 degree afternoon. We actually do. Contrary to popular opinion, this fast-moving southerly change is not unique to New South Wales (Tasmania, New Zealand and Argentina experience similar conditions), however in southeast Australia the proximity of the Great Dividing Range to the coast helps create these particularly fierce winds—often gusting well over 60 km/h. http://media.bom.gov.au/social/blog/18/the-big-bustsoutherly-busters-explained/ And yeah nothing like cool air in these fucking humid 35c+ days.
