I'd hate Brisbane traffic every day. They lose so much time in those
traffic jams. In the country side, three cars is a traffic jam.

I moved to Brissie back in 2000 after gaining my I.T qualifications.
I did make good money there, but I never did take to Brisbane itself.
Didn't like the summer weather, the place itself (boring), or the
people very much, to be honest. I was glad to move on after two years
there.

>In the country side, three cars is a traffic jam.

I don't think I've ever seen three cars on the same road around here

I can handle the heat, but they were having a heat wave up to
yesterday and it was a bit extreme. I don't know the city very well.
I've only spent a couple of days in total there.

I used to love the heat when I was younger, but once in my thirties I
progressively moved further and further south from Darwin until I
ended up here. Now, I don't much like it over 20°C - seriously.
I'm obviously well acclimatised to this place now.

There is also a massive difference between dry heat and humid heat...
dry heat I can tolerate much more.

>I don't know the city very well.
>I've only spent a couple of days in total there.

Just wasn't my cup of tea, I'm afraid. Plenty of other people love the
place.

Yes, you do get used to the climate. In Tasmania, I used to think
that 20 was moderately warm. Now I find it chilly if it's only 20 when
I get up.

Yes.

Dry heat is easier to tolerate. That's because your body has mechanisms
to deal with it. Those mechanisms don't work when the humidity goes
above a certain percentage. Evaporative air cons suffer the same for
exactly the same reason. When I was working in the mines in WA, any
increase above 30C wasn't greatly noticeable. I could handle even 45C in
dry conditions.
This morning we went to Lowanna to pick some stuff up from this place;
http://tinyurl.com/zn4tgsf
It wasn't even 30C this morning but the humidity was very high. It's
surrounded by rainforest so that's why the humidity was up. You didn't
even need to exert yourself before you began to sweat profusely. Trouble
was, we had to pick up some gear and load it into a trailer. Not fun at
all. It's located in a bit of a gully surrounded by trees so no breeze
whatsoever.
Nice picturesque place but no way would I live there with those humidity
levels.

Nice property. Probably not much less humid than our place. When it's
hot and humid, I limit work outside to 30 minutes. 30 minute
work-30 minute break-30 minute work-30 minute break etc.

Things are somewhat more comfortable under dry conditions because the sweat evaporates off your skin. The water turning into a vapor absorbs heat from your skin. The opposite occurs in high humidity conditions: water condenses on your body which releases heat on your skin. Humans are quite sensitive to this effect of evaporation and condensation on their skin.

The humidity levels in Malta were huge. Get into the shower, get dry and
still be wet
