Climate change?!

Weather in Melbourne is pretty hard to predict. Even though it is forecasted to be 36 degrees Celsius in the day, but when a gush of strong wind comes... you still have to pull a jacket on, or hide in a building OR behind the building (like what I usually do).

People describe Melbourne's weather like a woman. You know, fast in changing decisions, and have sever mood swings in a day. Weather here could be sunny in the morning, heavy downpour, then sunny again. And the wind here comes with or without the rain. Normally in Malaysia, when there's a strong wind, we could expect it's going to rain in a bit, but here... strong wind all day long... yet there is not a single drip from the sky. Weird huh...

One thing I would take it as a fact here is that, when you spotted a fly in the morning, that day will be a sunny day for sure! When you don't see a fly during the day even though it is sunny, remember to take an umbrella out. Just to be safe... and dry. As I'm typing now... Here comes a fly at the edge of my lappie. Gahhh...



This is a good website to check the weather forecast: http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/melbourne.shtml
There's also ratings for Fire Danger, & UV rays.

Oh and by the way, sunscreen is a must here. I'm not too sure why, but the ozone layer at NZ n OZ is the thinnest, skin cancer here is really common. So guys, remember to get your sunscreen ready when you are at NZ or OZ, put a layer of zinc would help most!!! and REMEMBER to put it at your ears too!!!
