Yes, us Aussies have suffered under hellish heat during the festive season before. It comes with the territory of living in this great land that’s girt by sea and / or sweat.
This year, however, it’s looking pretty dandy – there ain’t nothing terribly catastrophic predicted for us over the next week in terms of high / low temperatures.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the weather is just as predictable as an 18-year-old taking their first pinga during schoolies (god bless your patient souls, BOM staff), so the predictions for NYE will likely shift a lil’ as the week progresses.
Other than that, bask in the pretty moderate weather systems crossing our country over the next seven days.

There you have it, folks. Looks like we, as a nation, have managed to dodge gooch-sweat-inducing heat this year. Still doesn’t make up for how much of a turd 2016’s been, but still, it’s something…
