Queensland town swelters through hottest August day in 146 years as records torched

Forecaster Kimba Wong said the record temperatures aligned with global warming trends.

"So I guess it's something we should maybe expect to happen more and more often, which is not particularly good news.""Across the far north of Queensland there is an 80 per cent or higher chance of exceeding the median maximum temperature," Ms Wong said. Eastern and central Australia were forecast to have more rainfall than average between September and November.Chance of earlier, rainier wet season

It said the odds of a La Nina in the coming months had increased to a 70 per cent chance — about three times more likely than normal, in other words."The La Nina generally tends to be an earlier onset of the wet season, a wetter wet season, and potentially more cyclones than you would normally get," she said.

I have pretty well have that same photograph.

Metrological morons somewhere! No long term trend JUST the fact that usually just before a cold front warm air is sucked in ahead of it. This combined with the cooling Trade Winds stopping and reversing to a warm westerly, unusual here in August did it.

Got to play the warmist cards when you can get them. The climate is “changing” now. You know, just like it has for thousands of years. 🤦

Meanwhile it just started snowing in Canberra.

Meanwhile it’s snowing in Canberra...

Before long, Gippslands 90 Mile beaches will be the Gold Coast.

146 Years hey?

And I arrived the day after by sea freezing....😭

Records are meant to be broken.

What bottom feeders has become

Translation— it was hot 146 years ago. There were no cars.

Very worried about fire season. Even Western Victoria has had a dry winter. Only really getting rain now.

I just froze through Victoria's most hideously cold. I miss you Queensland!

Please tell me: Why is every man/woman/child paying $40 every year to be insulted by those lies?

Peter90666913 What is was hotter 146 years ago when there was no climate warming or climate change

34 is not exactly sweltering, I think with everything now air conditioned when we actually go outside we feel it so much more. Last summer we were fencing in 42 with dust storms and granted it was uncomfortable. We had 3 weeks in 1988 when the temp didn’t drop below 43

Let’s look at nearby Palmerville official August temperature data. 20 August 2020 highest T = 34.7°C Number of years with higher temperatures than 34.7° = 40 years Is for real Seriously, you chaps need to go back to school. fakenews climate

Wonder why it was so hot 146 years ago.

Yeah, fakenews on climate AGAIN There is no warming trend in Cooktown August temperatures nor in the nearest weather station. Why do people exaggerate without checking the facts? How do we explain 80 years of August cooling from 1910 - 1990 despite CO2 rising?

🙄yawn

What was 50 or something?

Peter90666913 thank christ we weren't there 146 years ago no air conditioners back then

When the mega wealthy start selling beach front property cheap I may just give a shit. Stop lying to us!!!!

So it was hot before global warming? bom CSIRO

Has the ABC handed out fresh Huggies to their staff after reporting this horrifying news?

Yes it was super hot then 146 years ago nothing much changed then. New record snow as well but that's weather.

I sincerely hope you reported on Rockhampton's record cold day in May where the maximum was 12 degrees? North of the tropic of Capricorn? Record cold.

Fuck I’d love to know the global warming event that caused the previous hottest day.....

It’s going to snow in Melbourne’s outer East this weekend, what’s your point?

Yes, interesting but was it a hot August night?

Brissy Xmas and boxing Day last year was so good nice n a bit cooler then previous years wtf was up with that

The continued indoctrination of the gullible masses.

Let me say it for you: HumanCausedGlobalWarming

Meanwhile, down in NSW & Victoria.

BOM been let loose on the record books again?

Come to Melbourne, freeze your ass off, that’s right, you can’t. No one can.

Platypus should be listed vulnerable in Victoria, says scientific panel'The platypus is not at immediate threat of extinction, but if we keep down this pathway it is heading that way,' says wildlife ecologist Joshua Griffiths. 'And you’ve got to remember that this research was done before the bushfires.' Bit like the polar bears, eh Josh? More green bollocks. Why Hydroxychloroquine can save life? Why none of the CCP officers gets the virus? Because they used Hydroxy chloroquine in December 2019 and controlled all the media and WHO to lie to the world saying Hydroxy is no use at all.
