It’s undoubtedly good news for a country that has been ravaged by drought and bushfires.
In New South Wales, that rain was 29 per cent above the long term average and the wettest since 2011/12, making it the soggiest state. Red bars are summers where the difference between the actual temperature and the average temperature, known as the anomaly, is higher. Essentially, hotter than average summers.If you look at the updated chart, which included this current summer, you’ll see a huge drop in that temperature anomaly from 2019 when the mercury was approaching 2C above average. In 2018, the anomaly was even higher, above 2C.
“As the observations show, they have warmed by 1.1C since 1949 while all summers have warmed by 1.4C.”, despite it being a La Nina year.“Typically late spring and early summer is when we have the strongest signal for La Nina episodes. They typically should be cooler than the years around them so to have the hottest November on the record, well I’m blown away by the whole situation. I’m actually in shock.
A rare and potentially damaging climate phenomenon has caused temperatures to soar in the waters off the WA coast.The heating occurs during La Nina years when warmer water from the Pacific travels between northern Australia and the Indonesian archipelago and ends up joining with a current, called the Leeuwin Current. The warm water then travels down the entire coast of WA.
While bleaching had not been as bad this year as in 2011, the increase in temperatures means it’s becoming more of a common event.
The comments under this should alarm you. Murdoch has caused this doubting of science. You guys have a lot to answer for.
..stop the presses, the weather was 0.1 hotter ..where's Gretta?
Trying anything not to admit there is no global warming. Wasn’t it never going to rain again.
It wouldn't matter what weather we experience, the experts will find a troubling detail because they are now so thoroughly invested in a narrative. Scientists have become activists.
A month back these philistines were saying it was one of the hottest...
