As a Finn I should be used to cold weather or at least that is what people tend to think. I will tell you a secret; I hate when it is cold and rainy. One of the reasons I came to Gold Coast was that there is approximately 290 days of sunshine per year. During these 30 days, I have been to the beach twice and it has been over 23 degrees maybe 5 times. What are the odds? The locals say it has been to coldest spring for decades. Does this mean that the summer will be the warmest for decades too?

I have been told that having over 35 degrees is nothing unusual during summertime. When it gets over 40 degrees, even I might admit it’s a bit too hot. Well you can’t do anything about the weather, but let’s just hope that the sun will shine when we go surfing on Saturday!
