In the 2 1/2 months since we got here, it has gone from so cold we were wishing we had down jackets (otherwise known as the tail end of winter) to hot enough that several times this week, I could feel the sweat running down my back and legs (otherwise known as the start of summer). Unlike a Toowoomba summer, this heat is extremely humid, and I'm told it's going to get a lot worse. The Japanese are still wearing jumpers, although they complain about the heat. Yesterday, Jess saw someone wearing a down jacket.
Fortunately, the past couple of days, the schools seem to have cottoned on to the fact that it's getting hot, and some of the classrooms are now air conditioned. Others aren't, and to top it off, some teachers keep the windows closed. Argh! I've taken to just opening windows and waiting for an objection, which usually doesn't come, although we sometimes have to deal with papers being blown about.
This morning at 9:00am, it was already unpleasantly hot and humid. It is now almost 10pm, and still unpleasantly hot and humid.
I hope you Toowoombaites are enjoying the cold!
