Shocking day, like walking around in hot treacle.
According to my diary, this day last year was almost the same.
Every time I visit QLD (always in winter) I get an urge to move up there. I get home, jump on realestate.com, look at job listings. Then we get ONE humid day in Melbourne and I throw the whole plan in the bin.
For 10 months a year its great. 2 months at most can be humid.

It’s not humid for long. And some summers are worse than others. This one is extra bad due to all moisture from months of rain.
2 months too many for moi. My hair and my disposition cannot handle it.
Its up to two months. Some years its been 2 weeks!

Everywhere is air conditioned - unless you are a cricketer or have an outdoor occupation. And houses come with pools
Queenslanders always say this to me. If I'm moving to Queensland I want to be OUTSIDE in that glorious sunshine, not inside complaining about my frizzy hair.Everywhere is air conditioned - unless you are a cricketer or have an outdoor occupation. And houses come with pools
When you do come, leave all your black clothes behind. Yes i know that is probably 90% of them.
Cripes even my bathers are black.
Only acceptable item. Well them and ya undies

Gonna be 28 degrees at midnight tonight. With moon out definitely an open window night for me then.
Tomorrow a scheduled energy outage sometime between 12-3pm in ‘feels like 45’. Delayed too, the original day was more mild and in the tamer morning.

Are you in WA? What's with the "scheduled energy outage"?

no just a small part of qld. Just network maintenance. These things happen about once a year, get a mail warning a week or two in advance, better than a sudden unplanned blackout of indeterminate length. Few cyclones in the vicinity recently too. It’s usually no big deal and heaps of people have generators anyway and breezy shaded verandahs, but yeah just awkward timing.

As both a Queenslander and Victorian i can assure that your humid might only be 2 months, Victorian humid is more like 4-5 months.
This is like when you guys chuck on trackies at 24 degrees. We would say we have REALLY cold weather for 2-3 months at most, youd say its more like 8.

I was in shorts and a tank top.

15 at night (the lowest it gets in winter) just about destroys me nowadays, you really do get soft (I’ve lived all over)
But FNQ is like a different state, very different beast to SEQ which is 2 days drive away. The wet season humidity is half the year through summer/autumn.

I almost forget what summer is meant to be like here in Melbourne. Haven't had a proper summer now for 4 - 5 years.

Was thankfully only 30 mins
‘Felt like 46’ with no breeze, the heat was just reaching ascendancy when the power returned, perfectly timed 
no sweat! 
I am lucky that I have a pool and heaps of outdoors shade though.

*temperature subject to change. Looking at you BOM.

It will probably be brief. There's a low of 17.
But this is a once off where previously we used to regularly have days over 30° and a handful of days 40°+
