Alrighty, ready to see something really cool? (and maybe a little nauseating)

The evolution of Hurricane Melissa's mesovortices at peak strength.

Good news for South Australia!

jfc this is not adult content @bsky.app

Yeah, it wasn't modernised but it didn't really need to be. The district forecasts are very hard to find.

It's horrendous. The obs tables page is disgusting.

this is good right murray watt??? how many more coal mines will labor approve before these trees are extinct

Months of continous record heat and this is the result...
Extremely abonormally warm water off the SE coast of China.

This warm water will keep islands like Taiwan, the Ryukyu etc ...abnormally warm for weeks to come.

Counter Protests nationwide this Sunday 19 October against March for Australia:

Melbourne - 11am @ State Library
Brisbane - 11am @ Queens Gardens
Perth - 12pm @ Forrest Place
Canberra - 11am @ NLA Lawns
Sydney - 11am @ Belmore Park
Adelaide - 11:30am @ Beehive Corner

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

This is why we need in-person lectures still

It’s going to be a doozy of a summer. Here in the northern Adelaide Hills we rely on 800mm annual rainfall. Last year we scraped by with 497 (a record low since colonization) and 498 so far this year. 😐

Thanks for your response!! I’ll look into it!

might @windjunky.bsky.social have any thoughts on this?

I've heard it said that a stratospheric warming event coupled with jetstream further north almost always means more stagnant high pressure events over west/central Australia / heatwaves, dry periods, etc. Any chance of the absolute opposite? Cold westerly moist stream?

I've just checked out Viro and you've got an instant convert. What an incredible idea. I've been waiting for something like this after feeling increasingly guilty for using ChatGPT (on the rare occasion that I do). Thank you!!

I’d ask what the insurance is/will be… #sealevelrise #NCRA

Patches of intense heat persists into the astronomical autumn in Middle East:
Today the Minimum temperature in the coastal Iranian town of Kharg was 33.0C.

Some stations have never recorded a night minimum below 30C yet, since the beginning of summer.
Every year is more brutal.

I'm Literally Looking Through You

Snapshot of approval page on government letterhead, approving Ulan Coal mining extension

Aaaand the Albanese Government has approved its first fossil fuel expansion of the new term.

We're all (legitimately) focussed on genocide, while governments like ours are actively pursuing a policy of omnicide.

How nice to have a stinking parliamentary majority and use it for ecocide.

Next weeks we will see HUNDREDS of records brutalized in which will be the most anomalous heat wave ever seen anywhere in the tropics.
World climatic history will be totally rewritten anew with weeks of insane and unprecedented heat in the whole area. 40C+ EVERY DAY. even in the highlands

We looked at impacts of a shutdown of the AMOC on Australia in our Tipping Points workshop report for the National Climate Risk Assessment. Unlike N.Hem, it may enhance warming in the S.Hem/Australian region, and could induce a La Nina-like wetting of northern Australia

BoM are umming and ahhing about snow for the Mount Lofty Ranges in SA. A bit touch and go.

my friend's Dad owned it until a short time ago

So easy to forget that record temperatures aren't just air temperature. If it's 40C that's one thing but if you add humidity, it's deadly.

Brutal conditions in CHINA 24/7 with heat indexes up to 55/60C and hot and humid nights as well with Tmins up to 34C.

More records hottest nights today include
Tmin 32.6 Chibi (Hubei Province)
32.0 Yueyang (Hunan Province).

Heat indexes exceed 50C even at night !

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN CENTRAL AMERICA

40.2C Choluteca
HONDURAS HOTTEST JULY DAY IN HISTORY

Temperatures up to 41C also in COLOMBIA.
This heat in the rainy season is unprecedented.
Nearly 100% of tropical countries are pulverzing every record.
