I live in England. Is there anywhere in the world at which the weather is hot, dry and sunny from 1st November to 30th April? Apart from deserts. Thank you.

in the southern hemisphere it's summer from November thru April

You could try going to Argentina, Australia or South Africa

Wouldn't it be lovely to be able afford to live somewhere warm in the winter? I'd choose the Caribbean, I think, if money was no object.

I live in the UK too, on the South Coast, and i am so fed up with this Winter! So cold! Rain and wind! Roll on Spring! Can't wait to see the daffodils bloom and some sunshine!

I am in Sydney Australia, It's terribly hot at the moment, 37C today, we had a horrible 43.6C here last week, It's not only the heat as well as the humidity that gets to you. February is yet to come and that's traditionally the worst month in Sydney for humidity.

The people of Adelaide and Melbourne are really copping it, they're on their 1st of a 4-5 day heatwave, temperatures in both cities are expected to reach into the mid 40C's this week.
Adelaide is more of a dry heat and a little more tolerable than Melbourne and Sydney.

Hot AND dry? But not a desert? Nope can't help you.

Miami is hot and humid. Arizona is hot and dry but it is a desert. I'm all out of ideas then. Try another part of the globe.

With south-eastern Australia in the grip of a brutal heatwave, fire authorities went on full alert, the Australian Open went undercover and commuters went troppo.

Adelaide heading for record hot week

Add your comment
In Adelaide the mercury soared to 45.7 degrees celsius at 3.31pm (1601 AEDT) on Wednesday, the hottest it's been in at least 31 years and just shy of the all-time record of 46.1 degrees.

Melbourne also sweltered through the heatwave, and in the city a top temperature of 41.9 was reached shortly after 2pm (AEDT).

The maximum forecast for Melbourne tomorrow is 43 degrees.

WorkSafe Victoria urged bosses and employers in all types of businesses to take the extreme heat into consideration.

"As the hot days and nights continue, employers and supervisors will need to consider this to be an added hazard to build into their planning," said WorkSafe chief John Merritt.

"There are clear safety issues with people working outdoors, but people who are working under cover or in confined spaces are also at risk from indirect heat or fatigue," he said.

At Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, the Extreme Heat Policy was invoked at the Australian Open tennis championships on Wednesday.

As the temperature topped 40 degrees the roof was closed at the conclusion of the first set of the women's quarter-final between American Serena Williams and Russian Svetlana Kuznetsova.

There were also extended breaks between sets in all matches.

Meanwhile, across the entire region, temperatures were even hotter than in the capital cities.

In Ceduna, north-west of Adelaide, the temperature was 47.4 degrees at 2.20pm (1450 AEDT), making it the hottest recorded temperature in the state, while in Mildura, in Victoria's north-west, it reached 43.7 degrees at 3.38pm (AEDT).
