The worst it gets down to is about 3 or 4 overnight and then warms up to a max of about 16. Can't really comment on the rain as we have only lived here for a couple of years we haven't seen that much. We have had a decent rainfall over the last week though. I haven't had to wear anything thicker than a fleece, although you will see some people in overcoat, hat, scarf and gloves :D Hope this helps. John

What is interesting is how quickly your blood becomes thinner and you get used to the hot weather....if it was 12 degrees in Yorkshire I would usually have my shorts & tshirt on...no chance here! I recall once having my frost alert chime in my car....wondered what the heck it was.

Simon Hi Simon I have got it open again as we speak :D It saves me from getting up to keep letting the dogs in and out. You will soon be facing this bleak Antartic type weather. John

Probably signalling a sunny day ahead. But we got to at least late teens. Our coldest last year was about 3 degrees, around the corner 200m it was 0.5c but they are in a curious low-lying hollow.

We thought it was such a big adventure as kids tramping through the bush and crossing ice cold mountain rivers to get from the stranded 4x4 to our holiday hunting hut (dirt floor 12 x 12 shed (corrugated walls and roof). Can really see me taking Elaine back there in Mid August :D
