What's going on? What constitutes a Heat Wave? Is it to try and scare the population with a subliminal, 'Climate Change' message?

Is there anything that pollies don't have the stinky/sticky fingers in, these days?

A few years ago BoM's Italian counterpart was sued for failing to predict an earthquake.
Since then, it appears that BoM err on the side of caution. That seems counterproductive to me, the boy who cried wolf and all.
