Hmmm have a look at the BoM website. Will an El Nino develop? Hmmm Seems both sides of the Pacific, surface & subsurface waters, are warm. What does this mean? Fucked if I know! Don't mean a cool summer tho! Are oceanic currents etc in a process of irreversibly changing?Jovial Monk wrote:Here comes the heat!

So, check El Nino, check increased solar activity yadda yadda. . .any bets on Adelaide reaching 50C on more than one this summer? We nearly bloody got there last summer with La Nina working to cool things! Brisbane, well {shudder} at how hot that could get.
If we do get days of 50C, expect rail, tram and electricity to be out for some time! Poor old superannuated infrastructure that should have been replaced a decade ago. Fucking useless Howard/Costello!
Sun is still entering more active state tho.
