Re: September heatwave 26-29 September

Apparently its never been warm in late September. And 850 temps are irrelevant, its what transpires on the surface, unless of course you live at 6000 feet above Sea level. It will get to 30 or maybe low 30s in the Nw corner, but nothing near previous temperatures for us here. It will be a normal lat...

Re: AWF Climate Outlook - Spring 2012

No worries Crikey. If you want a forecast for the ENSO, IOD and SST, just go opposite to the models and thats going to be a closer outcome. Im not sure if you have noticed bu the +IOD was brief and seasonal, but its now over and temps have exploded rapidly at the surface through the region, as i sug...

Re: AWF Climate Outlook - Spring 2012

By November the basin will be more cool than warm...and the Indian will be warm, as will the Coral Sea.

Just trying to find a calculator to see if i can work out what the answer is.

Re: AWF Climate Outlook - Spring 2012

Good pick up John, and it highlights a problem with the models. How can we pick these things up months beforehand? Simple, because models are told that El nino is king, Co2 is warming the oceans etc etc. Yet we look at these things and can see we are in a cold PDO, most models would not have any clu...

Quick update for everyone. I think it will unravel fairly quickly, as the movement is now on.

Shortly i will release another outlook, in the meantime here is some food for thought, and a reason why we will get plastered for years to come.

Re: Looking towards substantial rainfall for SE Australia

The climate response is going to be massive to the last 6 months. I think we are going to do it all again, the question is will it be biblical like 10/11 or just stock standard massive. I havent seen the planets align like this too often, everything is going to gether all at once again. The main thi...

Re: Unsettled Weather - Showers and storms. Sep 16th - Sep 2

Yeah there are problems with GFs everywhere, not just NOMADS.

Could be a stormy week with this trough moving in and then being ridden North into the inland trough.

Re: Melbourne dams

Yes and the experts who suggested such nonsense as not enough rain to fill the dams we should have built should be discredited, and dispanded. Lake Eildon, 3 times the size of Thompson, filled in 14 months from almost empty. But thats not even half of it, they have released 1.1Million megalitres the...

Re: Spring Fronts. Sep 12-?? 2012

Yeah echoing Karl's thoughts, not much to do with El Niño. The Iod is now slightly positive, but this is not too unusual for this time of year. It is the dry season, and the cold air has been consistently drawn up into the ridge all winter and swept NW into Indonesia. So that's why it's dry inland a...

Re: Winter 2012

A bit of perspective on the BOM and the use of baselines, our winter was actually a lot colder than everyone thinks.

Re: 2011 - Global temps on the way down

And the trend continues. temps are slowly falling and will accelerate once the AMO goes cold. However, this is not what the experts told us would happen. http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss134/avioli_2009/PaintImage4206.jpg At the moment we are miles under Scenario C, and thats with Hansen adjusti...

ACORN dataset...close to the worst in the world.

New topic which was bought up in the normal threads so we can discuss it here. We have seen how the BOM operate, they had a high quality dataset, but when they were pushed to release vital information, such as the codes to how they made such adjustments, they scrapped the dataset, and released Acorn...

Re: AWF Climate Outlook - Spring 2012

Certainly very dry through there John. Anyhow, SOI 30 day has dumped to -5.5, with the running 90 day at -5.7. By the end of next week we will lose the big negatives from early August so the 30 day will be down to about 3 if the dailys stay roughly the same. http://anthonyvioli.wordpress.com/2012/08...

That's not important John, what is important is that it snow at Ferny Creek because it rivals the Himalayas and is the centre of the Alpine hub of Australia, and heat waves at Humpty Doo..everything else doesn't matter.

It's flogging down here in Hallam, front has formed a nice heavy rainband and will deliver 20mm through most areas, especially Upper Yarra which will have a flood watch issued later. Luckily it's a dry winter and fronts are a thing of the past, otherwise there would be a mad panic on as Upper Yarra ...

Re: Victoria: Cold Front - August 28-September 1 2012

Bay effect in full swing now with hail and thunder going off its head over this side of town. In fact with such a big train it could see at least 20mm from the bay effect.

Saw plenty of flashes about an hour ago to me south, went through rowville and was hailing its balls off.
