It's always interesting reading about you guys putting your cars away for your winter.
Down here in Oz, or at least in Queensland where I live, the weather starts becoming hot humid and oppressive in the lead up to Christmas. Summer storms happen regularly in the late afternoons with the temps around 90-95F and humidity in the 70 to 80 percent range. Unless you have a soft-top you risk serious sunburn or a drenching during the day, although it is possible on those rare milder summer nights to go for a short cruise without getting too wet with perspiration.
The last two years the summer flooding has been worse than usual with some townships in SE Qld being evacuated three times in that period.
We're just now starting to cool off for our winter. Temps are moderating to around 70-75F and around June July we'll be in mid winter and around the 50-55F mark in the mornings, rising to 65-70F during the day.
From now until November is our prime Cobra-driving time, from autumn through to spring.
So we're all getting back into driving around this time of the year but for opposite reasons. You're coming out from under the snow and we're able to rack up some miles without suffering heat exhaustion!
