Jul. 16th, 2012 12:16 pmCanberra's sparkling winter weather has been replaced by cold days and nights that are only a few degrees colder. No day is quite warm enough to open windows and air things (right now, for instance, it's eight degrees outside) but it's not wet enough for us to get snow. The last time I remember snow in the valleys in Canberra was one November. We don't get snow. Just ice and cold.
July is Canberra's bad month, and the weather isn't helping. Tempers fray and moods fracture. Other cities can say, "Look, the days are getting longer," but longer days don't help in this city.
The trees are already showing their pre-Spring promise and jonquils have begun bobbing up sneakily, we can roast chestnuts and still enjoy swishing the last of the autumn leaves. This July has everything. Including the usual miseries. It's a strange month.
