What's causing Australia's heat wave?
I haven't commented on all the publicity about the nation wide heatwave of a couple of weeks ago, as I was waiting on a bit more explanation of how they work it out from the Bureau of Meteorology.
Well, the article above does give more detail, and is well worth reading.
No matter how much the reality disconnected Right wing of politics complains, it looks clear that it was a very unusual event.
Update: how appropriate that I posted this on the morning that Sydney has (unexpectedly) had its hottest day on record by .5 degree. (45.8 - which is by any standard remarkably hot.)
Hobart broke its record by a full 1 degree on 4 January.
A normally temperate place like that breaking its record by a full degree is very remarkable, I reckon.
