Burundi, that small country near the dominions of the King of Scotland, as all we (cinema lovers) know.

To Australians and New Zealanders! In winter (right now I assume?) Do you's get shorter days? Like winter here, it's dark until about 9am, then is light until about 5pm-ish? Do you guys get that? Also how cold is really cold for Australia? and how warm is really warm for NZ ?

Kayleigh, (not an actual answer to your question but) I heard NZ gets really cold during their winter, I had a friend I used to talk to and she hated the NZ winters. And the middle of Austalia is unbearablely hot.

It really depends where you are, Australia is a huge country so the climate varies from place to place.

Yes, our days get shorter in Winter.

I live in Melbourne, which is the most temperate city. REALLY cold for us would be around 5-10 degrees C during the day. During the nights it gets much colder though.

Really warm for New Zealand would probably be around 30 degrees. But it depends where you are again. The South Island is very cold and would probably never hit those temperatures like the North Island. Auckland (the biggest city in NZ) is actually quite warm. It is actually warmer than Melbourne, Australia during most of the year!

Where abouts in NZ did your friend live? Because like I said, while I was living in Auckland, I found that my hometown (Melbourne, Australia) is MUCH colder than Auckland. Our winters are quite a lot colder than Auckland's. If you look at a map, Melbourne is further south than Auckland. So it really depends where you are. The South Island of NZ is very cold in Winter but still not as cold as Scotland :P

So ultimately it depends where you are in each country. Melbourne is further away from the equator so we have hotter summers but much colder winters than New Zealand. Sydney's climate is pretty similar to Auckland's. And Adelaide, Brisbane, and Perth are all quite hot. And the middle of Australia is damn bloody hot but you'd only go there for sightseeing because there's nothing there.

All I want to say to Kayleigh is the South Island is freaking dark and cold right now. There is a weather bomb that has hit us, the last two days has seen us get 250mm of rain. Temperatures are about 12 degrees Celsius. Currently getting snow on the ski fields whoop!

What are your temps like hun?

See, the temperature in Melbourne at the moment is about 14 degrees celsius! That's only 2 degrees warmer. We've got lots of snow on the ski fields at the moment and it's rained every day for as long as I can remember. Like I was saying, Melbourne's climate is very similar to that of New Zealand's That being said, I miss the South Island incredibly.
