Over the past few months the bushfires have razed an area roughly a third the size of Germany, killed 29 people, and destroyed more than 2,000 homes. Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology said there is a 50% chance that the bulk of the country’s east will receive average rainfall from March 1 through to May 30.

“While outlooks for drier than average conditions have eased compared to those issued for late 2019, several months of above average rainfall are needed to see a recovery from current long-term rainfall deficiencies,” the bureau said in an emailed statement.

I like all how the Jesus fans didn't catch the part: 'but the weather bureau warned that 'several months of above average rainfall' are needed.'

God have mercy on Australia 🙏

Well that didn't age well... KEK...

This doesn’t fit the climate change narrative.

No, it was raining all day yesterday. Melbourne some areas got a year of rainfall in one day. I live in Australia, you are intentionally misrepresenting events here.

Your kidding right! It’s raining... and the forecast is more rain.
