And winter is generally 'very' cold with snow etc, but occasionally has warm days. You might be surprised -- the average summer temp in Sydney is only about 26 C; probably a bit hotter where I am. That's not "very" hot, though we do of course have heatwaves. And unless you are in Antarctica, your winters are NOT very cold. I'd be surprised if you got -10 C very often. Contrast Moscow, where it can get to 40 C in summer and -40 C in winter! I can understand building houses to suit hot climates, or very cold climates, but Australia has both. What about central Australia, they have super hot days, but super cold nights. You design for where you live, not for a mythical average across our enormous country! I live in Victoria. This summer we've had many above 40 days, but we've also had snow. Where I live there's often snow in the winter 1/2 hour away, and occasionally here. But it can still be steaming hot, or dry, or cold and snowing even in summer. I'm not talking average across country here! Jen |
