Re: Big rain event 12-14 October

Yep, not the time. Climate change is real, humans caused it, and it is a problem. Don’t know why this would be an issue on a weather site. Keep your attributions of weather events to climate change sites please. Weather is driven by forcings millions of times larger than CO2 forcing. The earth rota...

Re: Climate Driver Discussion 2019 (Enso, IOD, PDO , SAM)

Finally the oceans have cooled around Tahiti and the some big positive SOI numbers can be put on the board. Almost a hint of -neg pdo like ssts in northern hemisphere.

No sign of a 50c, despite media hysteria. The gridded data have been showing an area of 50C plus inland for the Nullarbor. It has touched 51C in some runs. Question will come down to whether the heat peaks near stations or not. Guess we will find out in two days :o The trend in extreme heat is very...
