Not in Victoria!
But I am sure there is some reason why facts like that dont actually matter, and I am sure there are plenty of people on the internet who can tell the scientists why they are wrong.

Parts of my suburb will still be out until tomorrow. Was like a mini tornado went through Melbourne yesterday. I was at the beach at the time & as the storm passed through I took some photos where I swear there were thin funnels coming out of the sky.

Geez its been another *smile* Spring & Summer in Melbourne. November was terrible. December was terrible. January a bit better but not much. Then, when we finally start getting some warmer weather in February, we get hit by massive storms accompanying it. Next week or so doesn't look too bad. Between that and a half decent March-April, hopefully we can get some respite. Tending to think March is the best month of the year nowadays.
Otherwise, old man Spook has finally got something right: Melbourne’s weather is *smile*.

I really don't know much about climate change. I don't really keep up with it to be honest. I'll leave that to better informed people. But I have noticed a dramatic shift in the weather and climate the last 25 years - particularly further north in places like Sydney where rain and humidity seems to have increased markedly. On that alone, I'd be a subscriber to adverse climate change, I guess.
However, what explains the freezing cold temperatures, and immense amount of rain and strong winds with it, that Melbourne-Victoria has received the last 3 years ? i.e. not just temperature increase, but decrease ?
Our golf superintendent supplies us with rain and temperature data every 3 months and he's been supplying near record levels of rain all the time the last 3 years and abnormal (cold) temps to go with it as well. It's cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars the last 3 years. Flooding everywhere, mature gums and other trees being blown down, greens and bunkers having to be re-constructed. Regularly having to call people off the course or shut the whole joint down due to storm after storm after storm.
Never seen anything like it the last 3 years. The damage has been off the charts. The Winters have been brutal and the Spring-Summer's terrible as well.

Also blacked out for 3 hours yesterday. Luckily it was as the cool change arrived but the house all stuck in heat and humidity.
Another issue with the Latrobe Valley power stations I think.

Climate change is in general making weather much more volatile hence why the terminology changed from global warning to climate change. Overall temperatures year long are rising even if temperatures at specific times appear to be lower than normal.
Lastly the last 2-3 years have been in a la nina pattern which is in general wetter. This summer was meant to be dryer and hotter with an el nino weather pattern but from what I understand it's been late in forming and also apparently there was some sort of volcanic event in the pacific late last year which dumped a lot of moisture in the atmosphere which is now coming down.
Fair enough. I get it. Although much against my better judgement, I’m still inclined to follow spook’s assessment ie that Melbourne’s weather, simply, is just *smile*.
Yep, looks like El Nino's finally arrived but with some injury (i.e. weak) as we haven't had much rain in the last 6 weeks. La Nina's still hanging around as we still get a bit too much humidity on certain days.
Jane Bunn reckons it was something to do with warm waters in the Tasman which is probably part of that volcanic event.
The reason they changed it to climate change was simple, because smart people realised it's a load of horse sh1t and even dumb people were starting to ask questions when many of their predictions started to fail. By changing the name to climate change, they could cover up their embarrassing predictions of doom and gloom and ensure the money kept flowing in for their pet projects. This way they cover it every way, wind events, bushfires, even volcano eruptions FFS and they can blame everything on climate change.
Pick something obscure like volcanos, sinkholes, almost anything and google it with climate change, you'll find some nutter blaming the cause on climate change.
Ha ha. The predictions of warming have been very accurate. As was voliatility predicted. More severe storms.
Unfortunately, as covid as shown us, many people with no qualifications suddenly become experts. And those experts feed other experts uninformed unsubstantiated crap which is readily devoured. I've done my research is a common refrain - where, on facebook?
She's more accurate than that BOM. Sometimes when they differ in a 7 day forecast, her target temp becomes more accurate.
All I can say is that she really knocks me out....
There was an article in The Age a few weeks back highlighting the “pressure” (to use a pun) that the BOM is under.
Yeah probably relating to predicting that El Nino was to start in Sept last year.
