Granted Oz has its down points, possibly two of them, but no more than that Bugs and heat, but hey it's a small price to pay for riding year round and not once running into anything that remotely resembles English weather Although I've been through some shocking fog west of Sydney and the odd monsoonal rain storm up here, but the rain was warm
North Queensland is full of bugs this time of year. Can't remember what it's like further south, been living up here for too long now to remember the horror of living in the lower class areas of Australia
But yeah the storm's radiators are a tad small for up here.
You still riding the Millie Kaz??

Bugs & heat... Two down points? Maybe. But there's nothing like sitting back with a coldie, listening to the ciccadas with the pool mere metres away, knowing you can jump in for a quick dip without freezing yourself silly as soon as you leave the water.

Wouldn't swap it for bike-unfriendly weather any day, even if it does mean the headlight & visor need to be cleaned a tad more regularly. (Yes, Larry, I know you've seen my bike & are aware it's unlikely to have ever been cleaned, but you don't have to tell...)

What can you do when you have total water restrictions? (excuse )

Hey Larry, it's even worse up north. We're not even allowed to wash cars, etc using a bucket. Gotta use one of the car-lovers places. Also, people are getting fined for simply having hoses connected to outside taps...

Kaz, two days of hot weather is summer over there isn't it Then it's back to the long drop into darkest winter

As Kaz said, you're not far off the mark

Chris.

I know. I lived around Suffolk for a while when younger and all I remember is cold, cold and more cold.
