And Melbourne got some very low maxima about a week of so ago,
14/15C or something like that, plus a white Christmas over some of the
mountains. What is going on down there, presumably exceptionally cool
southerly blasts from the Antarctic.

I've just read in another group that 2006 in Australia was only the 11th
warmest year since comparable recordings began in 1910.

The BoM have just released their annual summary. For Australia as a whole
it was also wetter than average. Its just that most of the rain fell here
in the north, over the cape and not where most of the population is

It's quite something when the temperature differences between Australia
in summer and the UK in winter are next to nothing.... Similarly, it
was impossible to determine whether the weather report for
"Christchurch" in the papers was talking about New Zealand or Dorset...

It must make the glowballers stagger.

If you divide the cause of all this unusual stuff into their respective
"basins" it becomes a little more easy to get a handle on it.

If you look at it all as one lump, you wouldn't have an hope
(presumably*) in hell of any continuity of your understanding.

*Never having had to confront this relatively recent phenomenon without
a firm foundation for a faith in the alternative, that there is no
basis for glowballs.)
