warning rant imminent!
Erick, thats a great point, as a mostly part time night skywatcher for the past 13 years or so, i have personally never seen so much unpredictabilty/changability in weather forecasts as I have seen in the last 2 or 3 years, I am talking only about my own small range/patch only of course.
I havent seen what the weather people used to call a 'dominant high' pressure system (they used to be massive, and that phrase was common here) for what seems an eternity, they pathetic wusses now - it's ooo ooo please dont hurt me mr big nasty northern low pressure sytem/trough/southern cold front ooo oooo i'll just fade away now *poof* and their gone, and they shrink down to wishy washy little weeners - wth!
A friend who has shared this frustration with the weather predictabitly, me and him are starting to think that something funny is definately going on with the climate/weather! admitadly cycles can work on long time scales, this i realise, but i remember as a kid the weather being quite different to recent years. so which is normal and which isnt
this conversation has been had here before of course, but i just see more and more evidence of strange weather every passing year -
it sometimes seems we changed climates with brisbane, they got our dry clear weather, and we get more northern monsoonal stuff - never seen so much humid weather as in recent years in adelaide either
then theres the retrograde moving seasons! (ie we dont get an autumn much anymore - its just like er summer/winter - thats ya seasons folks) - but we wont go there! lol or increasing bushfire frequency - i mean, not to make light of a very serious matter, but come on, this is getting ridiculous now! you could just about call victorias huge bushfires just about an an 'annual' event now
set ya clock/calendar by them? oh its summer again, victorias on fire! cant you tell - is it any thing to do with sea and tree changers being a massive movement
I am also looking at my magic crystal ball, and predict a large increase in percieved magnitude of comet after moon is out of the way
