The Perth Thread - Part 4

Did you see that article in the local paper (not The West Aus) about a forum on the 15th to discuss ways to make crossing Charles st safer/better? I personally don't and have never (even as a child) had an issue with crossing it. Don’t even get me started. Yes it’s difficult to cross and I’m...

Its actually not that bad. People think its Cairns, darwin or Bali up here but its not. Only slightly more humid than Sydney really (which granted is more humid than perth).
But 300+ days of sunshine, mostly in range of 23-30 max and 15-19 min. Perfect really.
I dont miss the 35+ days nor the single digit cool mornings

Humidity in Townsville and Darwin they are worse than Cairns (mountains and winds)

Central Qld is "Hawaiian" climate no need for aircon or heater ....not many places in the world have that
..between Hervey Bay and Rocky its to do with the mountain ranges making it not so wet and humid and the easterly trade winds keeping it cool

People bang on about Perths great weather but summer here is disgusting. Days and days of ~35+ is inhumane.

Do you work outside?

Do you work outside?

Yes and my apartment has no aircon.
It's a grind, man.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Doing manual labour in 35 plus degree weather is gross, just my opinion and experience.

27 to 32 maximums every day throughout the summer months is ideal.

Perth does have the best weather but for somewhere that has the best weather and miles and miles of great coastline there's nowhere you can sit outside on the beach and have a pint.

Don't @ me with your suggestions either, I refute them.

if you live within 5km of the coast it's brilliant. Cottesloe will be 32 in the afternoon, whilst Perth is 38 and 41 in midland

No new cases.

Funny how there's never been any reporting of where the overseas cases have come from until now

No new cases.

Ridiculous - they haven’t done this in ages and now he calls a 9.00am

loving the microphone and the stoush with Canberra

Well I mean 9am seems like a good time for one considering we're all at work or school now.

make more sense to keep it to the same time as previous days and in fact ever since it started

can’t ever recall a 9.00am

Because if he calls it for 1:30pm the day after a lockdown with no tweet to confirm no community spread prior, then the nuffs of Perth race to the shops to panic buy everything.

So for those complaining about the inconvenience of having to wear a mask, this is what Dave Warner and Kane Williamson are having to don to travel around India at the moment for the IPL

They chose to go play cricket for a tidy little sum - meanwhile, people are dropping dead all around them and there’s a shortage of oxygen, ventilators and hospital beds

Seems millionaire cricket owners have their priorities back to front

For those Australians stuck in India because they are essential workers there, I have loads of sympathy.

For those Australians that went there for non-essential purposes - like weddings or IPL - or simply those that rolled the dice on staying in India and lost - I have zero sympathy.

I feel empathy for the struggles of people in less developed countries having to deal with this where COVID is sadly out of control - they don't have JobKeeper or access to proper PPE or vaccines or the ability to socially distance, they essentially must work or they die. It puts our complaining here in perspective, that's for sure. We've got it damn good.

The dead aren't going to buy merch of their favourite team, are they.

Yes, 850 died of covid recently in a day, but 27,000 die every day in India.

Governments, international organisations and mainstream media continue to drum up fear and panic in India, even as the facts entirely contradict their claims. At this time last year, in April 2020, much less information was...

[Smeg Head]

Numbers wildly wrong, 7 day ave for deaths is 2.5k.

I mean that would only be a touch over 900k deaths in a year.
