It's amazing how hard it is to work when you constantly have to mop sweat off your brow ... high 20s at gone 10pm is scary! They're talking about temperatures of 5-10 degrees above average, hence these Mediterranean conditions in our "sunny" latitudes
I don't live in Brisbane. If I lived in Brisbane, I wouldn't be complaining. I live in London, where the whole infrastructure is geared towards keeping us warm and dry, to compensate for the natural condition. Weather like this in a city which has little in the way of air-conditioning is just wrong.
And it's amusing to see people react in amazement to things we more-or-less take in stride (absent an official "head advisory" notice), just as people from colder climates get a laugh simply because our local infrastructure utterly collapses under the assault of freezing rain.
Those temperatures are normal here (mid-Atlantic seaboard, US), along wih high humidity (and afternoon thunderstorms), but everything here from homes, public buildings, busses and automobiles has AC.

In four months it'll be 40+ degrees here. Roads will melt, bushfires will rampage, and flocks of bats will fall dead from the sky.
What you got there is a Brisbane springtime.

Your neck of the woods probably has the infrastructure to cope. London and Londoners sure as heck don't.
Bah.
We're used to cold, fog and rain...

Or maybe that's a US and Australian thing.
You have my sympathies...
Ice cream is good on days like this.
