SherwinJTB on YouTube: Melbourne Weather – Hail Stones

It has been over 20 years I have been living in Melbourne. I do not often go out much anymore, but Melbourne weather in your life is quite noticeable. The chilling cold early in the morning or late at night can make you sneeze involuntarily. My life has been based in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. At first my family lived in St. Kilda and then we moved to Clayton. My life as an Australian citizen began in 1992. The most unexpected weather in Melbourne you would probably see in your life is hail stones. You will most likely not see any snow either unless you traveled into the mountain peaks.

Natural disasters are quite rare in Melbourne compared to other places around the world. However, our main concern would have to be the shortage of water. Your life practically depends on water. Melbourne does not receive rain often, but if it does start pouring down you can almost guarantee a comfortable sleep in your life. While we’re on the topic of water I enjoy a nice glass of refrigerated water that has been filtered. Water is much better than soft drinks, juice, milk and most definitely alcohol in your life. I normally boil some water though to add to my instant noodles or to make a cup of Milo or coffee. I don’t consider myself a news reporter so if you want a weather forecast of Melbourne just watch the TV.

Hot days really make me wish I stayed at home. I sometimes wonder why I like staying indoors and then I’m reminded of the uncomfortable time of having to be tortured by the sunlight. All these years of my life in Melbourne and I have still not grown accustomed to the weather. I don’t expect your life to have the same view of the weather as myself. When it comes to choosing which is better between hot or cold days I wouldn’t give an answer. I prefer just right Melbourne weather where I can stay warm and comfortable. I’d have to admit though it’s a pretty happy life growing up in Australia. I remember in elementary school my teacher would worry that I didn’t wear a hat. I think that began my fetish for wearing baseball caps.

I wonder if earthquakes are a part of the weather forecast. We receive very little earthquakes in Melbourne because of our fortunate place of tectonic plating. Our Australian land is pretty safe for millions of years to come. I can’t say the same about my birth home though in Philippines. Philippines will be buried one day, but not during our life time. So how is Melbourne weather in your life? Just a few hot weeks in the Summer and back to the cold freezing nights of whatever season. There are still hot days throughout the year. I just don’t experience them much because I love to stay inside.
