Weather in Oz at the moment slightly variable

[Geebee]

It was 38 C today zero clouds, so a touch hot to ride, but tomorrow it is raining and going to be 18 to 19 degrees

On the plus side it could be like the UK at the moment

Well actually GB it is quite warm and looking out the window I can see the sun beating down unmercifully from a searing altitude of 22 degrees, the sky blue and without cloud, but of course if you ventured outside you would freeze to death in under 20 seconds. Oddly I had imagined that ebiking in warm places would be pleasant enough due to the ventilating effects of the apparent wind?

We've now had three days of sunshine in a row. I think that's the first time since 2008. It feels like it anyway.

It was 10 degrees down in Devon a couple of days ago. Cloudless, no howling wind (for once) and down to a t-shirt mowing the lawn at 2pm. For a blissful hour or so I got that wonderful reminder of what Britain can be like when the weather's nice (awesome). Sea temperature is up to 10 degrees too. It's usually warmer in the water than out this time of year.

Spring has sprung early with the mild Winter and my favourite time of year by miles is beginning. Better get a move on and get this bike built so I can get out and enjoy it. I don't want to miss much more of it .

12c outside in Blackpool atm - it's a beautiful day - looks good all week too, geting a touch cooler later in the week.

That's the ebike every day then!

Although I'll be taking it easy as I seperated my right knee whilst getting on my bike this am :-( After hitting the deck I did the "typical bloke" thing of looking around to make sure no-one saw me - which is a bit perverse as I could have really done with hand getting up!

That's really bad luck, hope it passes quickly for you.

The cox of the Sunderland lifeboat told me the temperature of the North Sea varies very little through the year.

In other words, your chances of dying of hypothermia if you fall in are about the same in July as they are in February.

Lol. I saw a couple swimming in just their trunks and swim cozzie. Always the older generation ! Not being made of such sturdy stuff, there's usually 4-5mm of neoprene between me and the water. I don't lose the legs till at least April and the arms don't go till even later !

Yep, riding in hot weather is normally lovely (upto the mid 30's), but since I live in the coldest part of Australia we don't get enough really hot weather to adjust to it. In Winter we get down to single digit Max temps some days.
