HI Mary Sue, > I didn't think Tasmania got very > hot in summer. What are your day time temperatures in summer? The mean daily maximum temperatures for our summer ( December to February) are 19.7C , 21.6C and 21.9C (these figures are for Kingston which is about 10km from where I live and probably a degree or two warmer.) The maximum recorded temps for those months are 37.5C , 40.0C and 36.6C so we do get some quite hot days- probably only 10-12 days above 30C through the whole of summer. So they dont get a really hot baking. Cheers, Rob in Tasmania
