A tale of two cities (and two rotten relatives!) Perth, capital of Western Australia, lies at 32º S latitude & would be uncomfortably hot in summer if not for a regular southwesterly wind that cools the area.
Ballarat is the largest inland city in Victoria & is at 37º 33’ S latitude. It’s infamous for its cold winters. Today in Perth at 6:40 am it's already the same temperature as Ballarat’s forecast maximum for the day.
Now for the rotten relatives. They are myself & my youngest sister, we have willingly undertaken the duty of informing our youngest niece of this temperature differential as she’s moving from Perth having accepted a job in Ballarat. She grew up in Perth & Karratha, WA (20º 44’ S) it’s where so hot it’s unwise to go outside in the afternoon.
We are willing to keep supplying this service because we care.
