In Melbourne, spring is just a nice name for winter. I hate it more than I can possibly express in words. But I hate all seasons in Melbourne because they all suck. Not enough heat, too much cloud and rain. Summer sucks here, it is very short and cold compared to many places, even the NE USA, and southern Europe... and this epic fail gives way to the endless days of winter and spring cloaked in slate-grey overcast with continual drizzle and rain. Some of the most fug weather Melbourne can churn up occurs in spring. My local park has been waterlogged literally for 2-3 months now
It must be this global warming phenomenon causing all this cold, cloud and endless rain. Our weather was never this crap until "global warming" came along
I'm happiest when its 45C during the day and 30C at night. Pure awesomeness. Nothing like sucking on ice coffee at the icepiece. Or while laying on the tiles watching Family Guy.
Here, only Autumn and summer are doable for astronomy, and autumn is practically ruined by those stupid burnoffs anyway. Bloody Venus would be a better location for astronomy.

but then again, winter doesn't exist in Perfffff to begin with. You're lowest daytime highs are warmer than our warmest daytime highs.
