  1. Here is a link to our New south wales fires ..

    http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?CAT_ID=683

     

     

    The situation has improved but still some fires idling quietly, awaiting for some bad weather to flare them up again. Unfortunately many are started by humans

    .In fact many reports of young minor teenagers starting many fires this spring..

    Only a couple of fires started by electric power poles and lightning..

     

    The weather in NSW this spring was dry and hot.. Very early fires..

     

    In Victoria were l come from further south. We have been cool and damp.

    In N/west WA some  near records for Fitzroy crossing this month.

     

    Some signs of a possible wet season creeping in with some early troughing in the tropics..?  Lets see how she goes.

     

    Don't forget Australia is a BIG Island., All types of weather

     

    Tropical storms in Darwin this week and late out of season snow showers forecast for the southern Victorian alps next Sunday

    The 10 hpa stratospheric warm anomalies have completely subsided in the SH and the NH is ramping up

    ------------------------------

     

    ACCESS G ( model) is indicating a severe intense low in the sub polar nth pacific ocean next wed 6th nov 2013

    Last year an intense low in the same area accompanied/initiated an SSW in the same area.

    Could be a good one to watch..

  3. The IPCC report cannot tell us when the current warming hiatus will end

    Climate cycle researchers can tell you

    ..There will be no more global warming before 2030

    Global temps' started declining around 2006 . They will not start increasing again before 2030.

    May the best man win..

  4. Severe weather event for the Nth Island of New Zealand underway

    Intense sub-Tropical low transitions on Nth New Zealand and further intensification

    Nasty piece!!

     

    I did a bit of a wrap on the event. for tomorrow and Wednesday  on my blog

    if you want some info'

    Max' intensity expected by ACCESS G around midnight tomorrow

    -----------------------------------------

     

    Also of interest G Wolf is that Mount Hutt ski resort on  the sth Island of NZ  had the heaviest snow dump on record in one event in the winter just passed

     

    Meanwhile to the west on the Australian mainland the warm anomalies in many parts continue

    Our new government in Australia ( Liberal party) is not very AGW friendly

     

    "PUBLIC servants are drawing up plans to collapse 33 climate change schemes ...

    ....

     

    An Abbott government will need to legislate if it seeks to abolish the Climate Change Authority, which is proceeding with work on a draft report about emissions reductions targets that is due to be completed next month. In the wake of Labor and Greens declarations that they would oppose the abolition of carbon pricing, Mr Abbott said he expected the parliament to "respect the mandate that the new government has".

  8. Hey.. Great to feel useful.

    Well its the end of winter here of course in the SH. Those waves have not had as much impact on the mainland as l thought might happen although the waves have got larger since July. So lets see what the spring pattern here brings

    The wave pattern has given new Zealand its warmest winter with positive high pressure anomaly and.. snow to brazil.  . The Australian mainland has been anomalously warm  with lots of high pressure

    The SAM /AAO has been positive all year with just occasional negative dips recently.

    There has been some deep lows in the southern ocean but really the affect of these waves seems to have been largely south of the mainland in the sub polar region..

    Thanks for your interest and useful link. Cheers. I'll drop by if l find anything of interest...

     

    BTW..... what is GWO?
