Thread: Global warming hits Perth

Harden up Andy

A little warm hey!

You get used to dry & dusty.....

How long have they been recording temperatures ?
Canberra had its hottest January on record. But they have only been recording for the last 40 years. If I had come out with resuarch like that , I would have been laughed at and told to go away.
Im all for paying for clearer air. Just hate being conned with miss information.

Hi there all

The weather has been very strange.....for us in the Flinders Rangers SA, we have had a few hot days but nothing like previous summers. We have also so far (touching wood) a very tame fire dangers season (thanks)

And as for rain........although nothing like the rainfalls up QLD NSW etc.... but its been quite wet (raining again today and 12mm last night)

I am heading back up North.....and looking like its going to be a wet one.

All the best

Probably about as likely as all the glaciers in the Himalayas melting ( and clicky too).

Hey Tombie
That was PERTH I refered to.
We are a lot tougher down here.Hotter too,we dont get a seabreeze as such,we get better,8pm or so we get the "Albany doctor" a blast of cool air from the south.Works most days unless there is a humid change that blocks it.

Main problem with looking at climate records in Australia is that this country has huge variability......"of droughts and flooding rains"

Take the rain in NSW and southern Qld at the moment - caused by the remnants of a TC interacting with a slow moving synoptic pattern. Might happen again this year, next year or not for 10 or 20 years. And has been pointed out we have only been taking measurements in our major cities for just over 100 years, most places less than that, which is a very short time in the grand scheme of things.

Did anyone else see Lord Monckton's address to the Aust Press Club on TV last night? To a layman, what he said made sense.
