Funny what you get used to!

It’s mid -winter here. Not that you’d notice. The day is 11hr 58min long compared to the mid-summer excess of 12hr 16mins we get in December. Sunrise is generally between 6:30 and 7:00am, Sunset is generally  between 6:30pm and 7:00pm.

There are some aberrations though.

The earliest sunrise is actually 6:25am on or about October 31st.

The latest sunset in actually 7:08pm on or about 27th January.

Although it does feel cool at the moment it is in fact 22°C (the cloud doesn’t help),  though  it’s forecast to rise to 29°C later on. Year round the temperature tends to hover between 25-30°C year (Daily Max). It’s funny what you get used to.
