Yeah Winter is great, mild/warm sunny days and cool nights.
Much better than the southern winter experience.
On the other hand if you don't like humidity much, then the rest of the year isn't as pleasant.
It's fine though with A/C and a pool nearby
The storm yesterday afternoon is typical of the sub-tropical climate.
It was hot and sunny for most of the day before darkening and the thunder, lightning, rain and wind began.
Can be great night time entertainment, but obviously not so good when the storm has destructive impact.

Simply too much water in too short a time: cliplock roof, box gutters overflowing: here, the chemist beside us, the supermarket beside them.
Water through the light fittings etc.
Half of The Gap is a shambles. Lots of sutures, abrasions, small fractures.
Started with 4 out of 9 consulting rooms up and running this am, and 1 out of 3 treatment rooms: now 6 out of 9, and 2 out of 3.
The ceiling fell down in part of the waiting room overnight.

Probably January / February if we get a system from up North make it this far......

Having not been to Brisbane, the closest I've come to experiencing that type of humidity and mid 20s, was in Mount Gambier of all places, earlier this year, and I don't think I could get used to that for a summer.Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:41 pmSquawk wrote:SJABC wrote:Squawk wrote:Trivia Question:
