I will be popping over to these countries sometime around mid-February... need to know whether I should purchase warmer clothing in anticipation of really cold weather [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks! :D

PS. I am living in a country located around the equator, so pretty much used to warm weather throughout the year...

In Aus where I live presently its around 30'C and quite humid. Sucks :( NZ never had truly hot summers when I lived there. So in comparison from where you live it should be a nice temperate climate [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="lightgreen"> Mid February... in Central NSW, Mid febrary ranges in temparature from about 15'C to 25'C depending on where you are, but still, the temparatures will vary.

When do u want to go (like approximate dates), and where would u like to go ?? (lke relative locations... Southern NSW etc). I will attempt to get you some weather forecasts, so u can decide for urself based on what ur used to... only real way to do it IMO..</font>

Around January-Februrary it's pretty humid..In Sydney we have had a few showers latley and some very hot days! I suggest bringing Summer clothes and maby a jumper and a pair of long pants just in case [img]smile.gif[/img] . Summer where I live can be very strange [img]tongue.gif[/img]

HOT - no, wait - DAMNED HOT - no, wait - DAMNED HOT AND MUGGY :D - yeah, that's it!!!

Wow, thanks for your prompt replies :D

I am heading for Canberra and Wellington... kinda excited in a way, cos I've never been to these 2 countries ;)

But this is a working trip, so... I'm not sure whether I'll be able to squeeze in some fun. Well, keeping my fingers crossed [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Speak of the devil!
Im on my way to Canberra tomorrow :D
Of course in my case its only half an hours drive from where I live, though a plane ride there wouldnt be without its merits [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey I missed this thread, so I'm going to put my $0.02 in now.

Australia is most likely to be hot and sunny, whilst Wellington, its a 50% chance it could be hot and sunny, and a 50% chance it could be cold, windy and rainy. Or it could be both on the same day, which happens quite often.

mistral, pack for summer, but remember to take a jacket or something warm for windy Wellington.

Thanks, Scholarcs! :D I sure hope there's something I can do for recreation in these two cities. I heard that Canberra is incredibly boring (sorry if anyone thinks otherwise, but that's what I heard ;) ) .

<font color="lightgreen"> For leasure in canberra... there is a Museum, a the national Galary, and the parliament house... it can be interesting if you know where your going, realy...

But also, in Canberra, in Mid February, it is <u>not</u> bound to be Hot and sunny... it might be, but more likely you will find it cold. It will probably not have temparatures higher than 45'C... if that.
Yes, I consider that VERY hot... but u mighnt...</font>

ha, in Auckland it could hail and freeze over in the morning, and then be hot enough to go swimming at the beach in the afternoon!

Lennon...You are not to go anywhere near the cities that Mistral will be in.

AzureWolf, look after her for me. If you see any shapechanging elf-things...kill first, ask questions later.

Any other Aussie that wants full pay and benefits will proceed to be my secret agents against LennonCook and protect Mistral at all cost, even to the laying down of your own lives, is necassary.

You will be well rewarded...</font>

All shapechanging elves to be shot on sight!

Oh! But creativity is good and encouraged among my legion.
Do have fun, and ...make a movie of it, or at least send me a dang picture of his skinned carcase!</font>

<font color="lightgreen"> Wasnt planning to anyway... cant go to NZ, and Canberra is infested with politicians.

And just because ur jelous...</font>

Beautiful for going to the beach - about 25-35 Centigrade - 77-95 F around Feb. It's not normally humid in Sydney - it tends to be dry and hot, much drier than around the equator. Up north (Queensland) it's a lot muggier and more what you're used to - it's almost a tropical clime there in summer. Bring lots of sunscreen as the sun is very strong here and you will be exposed to a lot of UV (no pollution to filter it out). At night it can get quite chilly in February - bring a jacket.

That's Sydney weather for you! We *can* get four seasons in one day - cloudless blue skies in the morning, a storm front moving in by noon, heavy showers in the early afternoon, clearing to blue skies again by late afternoon ahead of a cool change in the evening where the mercury can drop by 10 deg C. Makes it a bit hard to plan what to wear - but 90% of the time you'll find it sunny, clear blue skies. ;)

You should consider going to Sydney while you're here - it's only a 3 1/2 hour drive from Canberra (or a short plane hop) and will be well worth your time. Canberra's like Washington DC; Sydney's like New York City. ;)

Thanks everyone! :D

Ooh, I'm starting to get rather excited about my trip after all. But what I want to know is, would a trench coat look totally out of place at this time of the year, even during the occasional bursts of cool weather? I do not want to make a fool of myself... [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Thanks again for all your patience, everyone ;)

Oh wow, that is very kind of you, Larry [img]smile.gif[/img] I just hope my colleagues won't be staring at me in bewilderment as random creatures collapse dead before our very eyes. Let me rehearse my explanation here... "Well... you see... erm... drinks, anyone??" [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Well I cant really say mistral...weather is really strange here, you can have all 4 seasons in one day, literally. Maybe someone else could say more than "flip a coin". :D
