Banter RDT CLXXXVIII - Big Weather

[Godfather32]

I knew the one before that was mild but felt like by now we we’re generally getting mid to late 20’s and a few more 30 degree days.

Should be happy with next weeks weather then

 

[Godfather32]

We're actually above average for rain this month with 11 days left in October (42.2mm vs 39.3mm), with a bit more in the rain gauge today. Average maximums are exactly average for the month although the next couple of days should drop the average a bit before increasing as the weather warms up later next week.

They do have this as a disclaimer - * Average monthly rainfall (for the period 1876 - 2016).

Maybe the BOM data you're looking at is from the new site which I think they moved to in 1994, but who knows

Yes, that's correct. The new site is more relevant given the significant climate change that has taken place across the past 50 or so years.

Yeah, that's probably the average for 1994-now I think, this is what the watercorp site says

Which was my original point....that this is what a typical spring used to be like

Speaking of burgers, I miss being able to eat whatever the heck I want to and not gain weight.

I probably gained a kilo writing the word "burger". Two now FML.

Yes, the averages I used were at the current site. Rain is from 1993, temperatures from 1994.

Yes, it did until climate change intervened. It's been a sudden change in what is a short amount of time.

Yes mate, I understand how climate change works. My comment basically amounted to this is what spring used to be like... hence my use of long term average. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make or that you even need to make a point
