Exclamation I predicted the record to be broken!

Ok guys, results of my prediction is awesomely correct by i said "August daily max temperature will brake the record above 29C"

Anyway it still August today and the record was:
Highest on record 18.0°C 28.8°C 196.2mm (from WZ)

And Ballina temperature today was:
Fri 15:30 EST Temperature 30.2°C

Now what you guys think? I GOT THIS RIGHT!

Maybe it was a radiation outburst from your supernova that warmed the atmosphere....

I think it was the lack of the 9th planet that caused a sudden rush of heat from people who were overwhelmed with sadness.

When you said "Brake" did you mean it would stop? or did you mean "Break"

Tonight at 7.30pm it was a balmy 24 C.
At 9.30pm it is 20 C.
I've been outside observing in shorts and t-shirt batting off the mozzies.
And this is Winter!!!
Lawd help us when Summer arrives.

Well done with your temp. prediction Matt!

By the way, I reckon what you may have seen the other day was a Meteor.

That mean no reward for me then? How come? I am weatherman, not you. People discovered and predicted the right records does can get a reward and/or can get to be famous for that. Just because it did the right thing.

Let's play friendly people.

Mattweather, my answer would have to be "No" too. Predictions are only really predictions if you make them before the event actually occurs.

This has nothing to do with me or you or anything, you asked a bloody question so I gave you an answer, live with it.
