Hello TRF,

This is a shout out to all my fellow members from down under!! I am departing for Australia next week.

I was wondering what you recommend as far as clothing to pack.

What is the weather like this time of year? Do I need a light jacket?

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Matt

P.S. Anyone free between Feb 2nd and Feb 9th in Sydney, Id love to get together!!

I am staying at Shangri-La Hotel.

Matt, I am not from Australia, but I have been watching the news lately and apparently, it is REALLY hot down there. Melbourne beat a 100-year-old heat record the other day, with temperatures of 35 degrees celsius (AT MIDNIGHT).

So, if I were you, I would pack some shorts and lots and lots of water

Sweramic · 24 January 2010, 05:38 AM

Oh, and of course; have a great trip!

mrh1797 · 24 January 2010, 06:07 AM

Thanks Carl!! I appreciate your help buddy!!!

Matt,

It's summer in Australia. Pack light clothing. Maybe members from Sydney can comment. It's tempermental in Melbourne!

Welcome to down under!

Well, in Melbourne, last Thursday was 36C daytime and went down to like 23C at 3am.
Yesterday it was 23C daytime and 10C at night. It's 13C now (Sunday 9am) highest expected today 26C. You really have to check with the weather bureau just before you leave. http://www.bom.gov.au The forecast is usually pretty close/spot on.
Melbourne is famous for "4 seasons in a day". You can get a cool change in a 45C day and it gives 20C temp drop in 30 min. BTW cool changes always come with some rain.
Sydney is milder but also more humid.

toph · 24 January 2010, 09:09 AM

well it was in the 40's yesterday but is raining right now and about 23, maybe a light jumper or jacket but only one in case you need it. mostly shorts T-shirts and summery clothing

Hey Matt, have a safe flight over, when it comes to clothing, I agree with the guys, I'd pack shorts and shirts and a couple pairs of jeans for the cold days :-) remember if all fails you can always buy a few items here.

Let us know when you are here, GTG time

The weather is all over the place in Sydney - low 40's yesterday (that's celcius), today it is overcast and low 20's. Daytime you can definitely get around in short-sleeve and be very comfortable. Some evenings it is a little bit muggy but most nights a jacket is okay, but not mandatory by any stretch.

gmtobsessed · 24 January 2010, 03:35 PM

Quite good sunny days over here in adelaide,
but there might be some heat wave on the way

Have a safe trip

Hi Matt,

Are you just going to Sydney or are you travelling around?

If you get to Adelaide you'd better ring me.
