How is the weather?

It's amazing how Aussies aren't naturally black with the weather they get. You have to remember we are still in spring - June, July and August is our summer.

:rolleyes: Err the Aborigines are the natives and they are black. Remember Aussies are mainly descended from us Brits, when we colonised it ;)
 
It's not summer yet. Summer's not until June-July. It'll get much hotter than 11degrees.

Also, Lee, wtf was that point about all Aussies being black ? I hope you were joking, black people aren't black because of hot weather burning their skin, it's about a pigment in their skin I think.

It's a combination of things if I remember correctly. A lot of exposure to solar raidation e.g. Africa, means that some sort of vitamin/pigment is reduced resulting in the skin being black so as to protect from the radiation (or something like that)
 
Yeah black or dark skin is as a result of body trying to protect against Sunlight.
 
Brilliantly sunny/hot.

Walked to the shops in shorts and a sleeveless top, got a paper.

It is the product of evolution due to living in hot countries. All of Asia and most of Africa has native black people, and that is because they live in hot countries.
 
Sunny but cold. But people think it is quite warm.

Maybe because I'm from India I find it cold.
 
The English weather continues to stay. I think this thread is having effect here.
