Tasmania, Australia can have odd weather in the summertime due to it's location. There can be 4 seasons in the one day. Many people have the idea that our summers are cold, well far from it most years.
The Christmas forecast is in the photo below with Christmas Day temperature predicted to be 30 degC, (86 F)with some cities being 40 degC (104 F). So for those who live in the Northern Hemisphere just think of us down here cooking Christmas Dinner or heading for the shade to have a barbecue or a big shady old tree on Christmas Day, whilst most of you 'might' have snow outside!
Tasmania is 68,332 square kilometres (26,383 square miles) in area. The distance from north to south is about 364 kilometres (226 miles), and from east to west about 306 kilometres (190 miles). It is about the same size as Ireland, Switzerland or the state of West Virginia in the USA.
You and us Floridians will have pretty much the same Christmas weather :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting - though it's your winter and our summer.
DeleteMerry Christmas !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ela - same to you.
DeleteWe will be a bit warmer than you. Whatever the temperatures I hope that you and yours have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI know where you live can get very hot - thank you and you have a lovely day too.
DeleteAdd five degrees for our temperature on Christmas Day. At least having Christmas at home, means we will be cool. We are not afraid to use our air conditioner, hard.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the temperature has changed again here, it's to be warmer and I saw your weather!! We will have the A/C on too and at least it's ducted and a new system, the other ducted one wore out.
DeleteYou didn't mention that it is an awesome state, that once someone goes there they will want to go back again and again, I want to go back again and hopefully I will be able to convince Tim to go back again next year.
ReplyDeleteJo-Anne, I'm pleased to read you feel and think that about this Island..hopefully you will get back to see more.
DeleteI always think that Tasmania seems like a lovely place. I always regret not having made it there when I visited Australia in 1999. I doubt I will get back there again...but who knows?
ReplyDeleteSo many tourists visit Tasmania for many reasons, so much to see. You never know one day you might get here, it's a long way from where you live.
DeleteThey say it will be 17C here on Christmas
ReplyDeleteAdam.
DeleteThat is quite pleasant Christmas weather for South Carolina.
I thought you would be well and truly in much lower temperatures.
Just had a look at your city in South Carolina now and it is not too
cold - even for me!
Colin

ReplyDeleteAmazing that.
DeleteThat's a huge range in one day!
ReplyDeleteIt is, but that's what happens here.
DeleteThat is quite PLEASANT temperatures for Tasmania at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteHow would you like to be in Adelaide, or out west in mainland Australia.
Seems that Brisbane will be the coolest capital on Christmas day!!!!
That would have to be a first.
Colin
Hot for some areas of Australia Colin.
DeleteThat would be rather odd for Brisbane.
Thanks for the weather report. We spoiled folks in San Francisco are freezing with 43 degree nornings
ReplyDeleteThat is a bit nippy - keep warm.
DeleteI think our SA Christmas is expected to be a bit hotter and there are fire bans all over the place so a lot of people can't have their solid fuel barbecues going, but gas and electric ones are apparently okay.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Enjoy Christmas in the sunshine Margaret - no snow here, but we do have some blue skies even if chilly - whatever the weather let's all of us have a happy time.
ReplyDeleteA very Merry Christmas to you, Margaret...I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and loved ones. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :)
