Guest Tamjb Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hello. We're coming to Perth next Friday (25th May) for couple weeks to have visas validated. Just wondered if we should bring summer-ish clothes or is it getting cooler there now? (prob still feel warm to us coming from the UK though haha) Thanks in advance.

Scot01 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 It will feel warm during the day and cool at night - I've put my fire on for the first time this week. Bring a light fleecy and a rain jacket and jeans. Probably get away with shorts and t shirts during the day if it is like this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaynBev Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 We've been here since Jan and we do notice it's cooler now but we're still not into heavy duty autumn clothes we'd be wearing in the UK thats for sure. We wearing jeans & a t-shirt during the day, sometimes shorts if it nice n sunny. On an evening in we tending to throw a light weight fleece on. Deffo agree ref waterproof jacket.

Philpom Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 You definitely won't be needing any of the big heavy coats you'd be wearing during a northern hemisphere winter, but something handy to keep you warm at night plus the rain gear.

ROB T Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Wot's this?.........Tog 20 quilts, cardigans, woolly jim jams, log fires and thermal vests............I think you guys have been away from the UK for too long. As soon as the temperature has fallen below 80f you all go into 'Hypothermic Shock'!! Lol. Surely you remember the 'good ol days' in Blighty and freezing your bits off for days on end.........you'll be claiming Winter Fuel Allowance next!!!! :ssign7: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsteen Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 OMG we are lucky if Inverness reaches double figures these days. Dont thing we have got over 9deg since a wee warm spell in March. If it reaches the teens (13)deg then everyone is stripped off to shorts and t-shirt. cant imagine feeling it cold in Oz. Im hoping to be in summer gear for 10 months of the year when we move out... LOL.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Canada for 4 years and I have never felt so cold inside a house as I do here in Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sal Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 our house has tiled floors or wood, no carpets, no double glazing, no central heating and windows other than bedrooms have no curtains. When it is less than ten degrees outside we feel it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break! Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just been on BOM ( bureau of meterology ) and they say sunny all next week, 20's dipping to 19c on Wednesday but, down to 5c at night! now that will feel chilly in these houses so warm PJ's but the daytime as you havent acclimatised yet will feel like a nice warm spring day. OOH and I should say the "coldness" comes at a different time, ie about 4-6 am here whereas in the UK I think it was about 2 in the morning.

When it is less than ten degrees outside we feel it!! Ah the joys of houses with no double glazing. If only it wasn't so prohibitively expensive in this country, more people would get it. We wanted to get double glazing is just 2 rooms in our new build and it was going to cost an extra 3500, so single glazing it is. Actually, your description sounds the same as our own house.
