As a North American, I was under the impression that it got hot in Australia. I guess not.
32 (89F) is a temperature where it is nice to go for a swim if you are in the mood, but hardly mandatory.
Being American raised but now living in Ontario I am amused at varying perceptions of “hot”. This part of Ontario has 3-8 months of winter, depending on how one wants to define winter (having snow on the ground would qualify in my books, but if one is hard core and defines it as when it is safe to drive your truck on most lakes we can probably argue for 3 months). This is followed by spring, which, in my opinion, is followed by fall (our leaves begin to change in August).
One can select the hottest two to eight weeks and call them summer, but they would not pass for summer in any place I’ve lived in the States.
As one priest I know observed, “global warming can be nothing but good for Canada”.
Keep in mind that Australia is coming out of winter into spring when we're coming out of summer into fall. Always add or subtract 6 months to figure out what the weather should be like there now (September here - 6 months = March weather in Australia). And as a reminder if you're from the southeast -- the 1993 blizzard we'll talk about the rest of our lives was in March. LOL
