| 0:00.0 | This is the Friends Vistula Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor, to Australia, to Jeremy |
| 0:05.5 | Zakis and New South Wales, to introduce us to the unusual weather patterns. This is becoming |
| 0:12.0 | predictably unpredictable. It is fall, coming winter. And Australia at this time of year |
| 0:18.6 | does not enjoy beach weather, generally. However, Jeremy, a very good day to you. You sent |
| 0:24.4 | me an article saying, everybody's still at the beach with their barbecues. Has it been |
| 0:29.2 | warm as it's been uncomfortable? Is this unusual? Good evening to you. |
| 0:33.1 | G'day, John. It is absolutely beautiful right now. We are in the middle of fall. So it's |
| 0:38.9 | our autumn or fall as it's saying. It's normally getting cold. It's normally getting towards |
| 0:43.2 | those winter temperatures. So we're talking, you know, the low teens in Celsius, which means |
| 0:47.6 | we're getting around the 50s, the 40s, heading towards those zero temperatures overnight, |

| 1:06.7 | clear weather as well. So honestly, John, the images of Australians going to the beach right |
| 1:12.2 | now is true. In fact, just this week alone, I did go down the bondage just for a brief |
| 1:17.1 | period because it was such a beautiful day out. And this is very unusual. I can tell you, |
| 1:21.6 | I've can't remember the last time that I've actually gone to a beach in the late part |
| 1:27.1 | of April. So John, I mean, the weather is really backward in some way right now. Not |
| 1:32.1 | that I'm complaining because we again have a beautiful day. But this is not what we expected |
| 1:36.7 | to be talking about at this time of year when it comes to weather. So there's definitely |
| 1:40.1 | something, something a miss right now. Century old Sydney weather record broken 184 days |
| 1:46.0 | of 20 centigrade or higher. Now Jeremy, we have a term for this. If it's warm in October |
