I have diagnosed a bi-polar disorder in the world's climates! SBS TV spent a long time last reporting snowfalls all over Britain, showing among other things a poor commuter exiting Waterloo station on his bum, skating vehicles, and white cloaked landscapes. The problem, I gather, is nationwide and just about to get worse.
Somewhere in the Antipodes, about 18,000 km away things couldn't be more different, but I doubt if UK TV has informed its viewers about 45 degrees C in Adelaide and Melbourne, much less Armidale's unusually hot summer. We've been sitting on 30-32 degrees for quite a while (32C = 90F)and today is not exception. Fortunately, it's not humid and I'm still waiting to see my first cloud for the day. In fact, I'm thinking of going home and sitting in the garden shaded by large trees and a big umbrella, and downing a few iced drinks. The problem is getting home on my bike from my UNE office where I'm typing this.
