What happened to February?

14C Gosford, 15C Sydney, 15C Dunedin, 3C in Hamburg

Fifteen degrees? In February? In Sydney?

It is nearly nine o'clock and 15C (feels like 9C with wind chill factor said the radio announcer). Dunedin is 15C too but it is 12 degrees latitude further south.

[Dunedin is at latitude 45° 52' South, Sydney is 33° 52' South]

In Sydney February is usually so hot and humid you think of moving elsewhere, like Dunedin. Today you would move to Dunedin to get dry because it is not only cold in Sydney it is raining solidly.




A lot of Sydney events will be washed out. Who wants to see Opera in the Park in pouring rain? The poor performers will have to wear woollie jumpers.

The garden though is happy and sighs with relief. A long drink is very welcome after six dry months and so much heat.
