Ballarat climateBallarat climatePosted Feb 3, 2011 10:56 UTC (Thu) by pjm (subscriber, #2080)In reply to: LCA 2012 by djm Parent article: LCA 2011
If LCA 2011 was a great conference despite coming immediately between international-news-making floods and a category-5 tropical cyclone, then Ballarat sounds pretty promising.
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/tables/cw_089002_A... gives climate information for Ballarat. It doesn't look particularly menacing. Comparing with a couple of other places where LCA has been held, the humidity is drier than Sydney and Brisbane, but similar to Melbourne; while average temperatures looks similar to both Melbourne and Sydney and cooler than Brisbane; and hot days (90th & 100th percentiles) look about a degree C hotter than Brisbane's, and a degree or more cooler than Melbourne's.
(However, I'm not sure I've been to Ballarat in summer, so I've no personal experience of what it "feels like" compared to elsewhere.)

I've been driving through or (since a bypass was built) past Ballarat for many years. It is usually a few degrees C colder than Melbourne or Ararat, so it will probably be quite tolerable for LCA 2012. See you there!

Ballarat is usually hotter in summer and colder in winter. It it further inland than Melbourne, so it misses the moderating effect of the sea.
