[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 384235, member: 3775"] Well you need to be careful if you prospect in the up in the hills in Aus too, Say you have about 16*c during the day and about 10*c during the night on the weather forecast, thing is it is always colder in the bush, So you go prospecting in the hills at 6000 feet, now you have 16* in the day and a low of 10* at Sea Level or less at night, "But" for every 1000 feet you go up you get a 0.6*c/1*f drop in temperature, so at night your 10* is now 6.4* and if you have a 35kph wind that gives you a temp of 1.5*c or make that a 35mph wind and the temp is now 0.3*c. Or a low temp of -4*c with a 35mph wind will put you in -14*c, So just because Aus is a warm place it is very easy to under estimate the conditions. J. [/QUOTE]
