Today is the shortest day and the longest night. So happy already sick and tired of winter.
Up here in the NT we are in the Dry Season and I love the cold weather. Please note cold weather for me means that at some point in the middle of the night it gets below 15C if I am lucky it goes below 10C and I get to snuggle under a doona. The day time temperature gets up to 35C
Same climate with AUS, just different time zones
Monday June 21, we will be at winterπ₯Άπ₯Ά solstice. That means it will be the shortest day of the year here in the Southern Hemisphere. Tuesday will be longer! Ok only by a second but before we know it spring will be here β
You call an Aussie winter - Winter! One of the main reasons the βTen pound Pomsβ emigrated to Oz in their thousands in the 60s & 70s was to escape the British weather..especially itβs all year round winter!!
Yep, and the first thing they moaned about when they arrived here was the Summer.
