Heres an article explaining what the boffins think is happening. It’s the trifecta of El Niño, Southern Annular Mode and Indian Ocean Dipole all ganging up on us.

So in 5 years time if cold records start getting broken, will anyone remember this?

But it was a dry heat, just like 55 in Alice Springs and 54 at Ayers Rock.
The worst place I've worked at was Brisbane, the humidity was a killer...

Good thing you didn't get to live and work in Cairns, Darwin, or anywhere along the coast in between the two then.

watch my gold mining stocks get smashed because of this guy's avocado crop. anyone that's actively participated in the stock market would know what i'm talking about.
what is today's expected max for Perth - 37? i have the feeling those temporary scientists BOM hired last week have been sacked for giving accurate forecasts.

Yep....."remember when we had warm weather?"

The concept most people miss is that overall warmer ocean temperatures makes for more volatile weather. Ocean temperatures and currents have a great effect on the weather as does the Jet stream in the atmosphere which are all affected by warming temperatures.

Cold weather records could be broken any day, especially if old mate Putin decides he's loosing to much and he launches a few nukes at Europe or maybe Little rocket man in North Korea has similar ideas. But hey, if that does happen at least we can be certain the nuclear winter is man made!

I have worked in Darwin and Cairns, most main airports in Queensland except Townsville and Mount Isa.
Brisbane always had the most humidity.
Did a couple of trips to Christchurch as a flying spanner, that's a nice spot to work.
