New York temperature and rainfall averages

Hey man, just wanted to write to you to make sure you know and that you come prepared for the weather for your exchange to Australia this month. The weather over here is a fair bit warmer then over in New York, where actually entering Autumn now, where as i believe your entering spring? Anyways as the graphs above show we're starting to get into a colder season, usually it won't get below 7 degrees, and almost never around freezing point, altthough you do still need to bring some like skiing gear, like a woolly jumper, some thermals, and long pants as we will most likely be going to Thredbo in May. The weather in Sydney can change rapidly, so I wouldn't completely ignore the idea of shorts, and short sleeve t-shirts, one day it will be pretty cold and then next it will be warm and sunny... but with that in mind there's no need to bring more than maybe 3 - 4  pairs of shorts. It does tend to rain quite a bit on and off, so bring an umbrella and maybe a raincoat just in-case, I mean if you don't bring them it's not that big of a deal we can easily buy one, but it's just something to keep in mind. Usually the temperature is pretty reasonable, at about maybe 15 - 22 degrees throughout autumn which isn't that much different to New York at this time of year so pack what you think will best suites you for casual, like jeans, jumpers, t-shirts, whatever you want really. 

cya soon,
