Australia has had its wettest spring on record, with an average of about 160 millimetres of rain falling across the country.

wasn't australia suffering from a massive drought recently? a couple years ago? i remember reading about kids like 5 or 6 years old in the center who had never seen rain at that time... now this?

No, our history only goes back 100 years have a think weather has been worse.

I've lived here for 40+ years, never had an airconditioner, just ordered one and getting it installed. I'm expecting a scorcher of a summer. Hope the electricty grid holds up, did last year, well in Victoria at least. (47C last year)

we are preparing for flooding, doing what Glen Beck suggests and stocking up on food , cos we really get flooded in and cant get out, the house is high and dry tho'

well, "over there" in the east, its still raining, but here in the west its still drought.All "winter", if you could call it that,maybe three days of rain,thats right, three, spread out over ALL of winter! In other words, nothing. Hardly a drop. Crops werent "too" bad where I am, but I know plenty of farmers who were wiped out,theyre crops grew allright, but with no followup rain, turned brown and died.We have had four days of dust storms since then and summers only just begun.Harvest is over completly, and its the first of december, unbeleivable.Meanwhile in russia yesterday it was minus 55 celcius, two months ago it was 40 odd degrees, at the same time there were tornado warnings for ireland!!! global warming? climate change? well SOMETHING sure isnt right, no matter what "they" say.Ive been watching the weather in europe with a close eye, because something about THIS winter, for them, doesnt look good, and yes, the movie (I know its just a movie) the day after tommorow, is ringing bells. Only a few months ago they were reporting that an enourmous amount of sheet ice had broken away, and im talking country sized. This with reports of hundreds of square miles of artic ocean "bubbling" with methane gas, has all kind of unnerved me.Just about everything in the movie,apart from THE END, has seemingly begun to occur, maybe im just being paranoid, and maybe im not.................................

Good! They will need less lube!

I have been thinking about similar things..

same with the AC's have never really needed them.. up until a last few summers.. now I think I will be struggling to cope without one..

we are just comming out of a 12 year drought.elnino is back and we have rain again ,,nothing wrong with that.i hope it keeps raining until febuary

My veggies are growing like they're on steroids. Best veggie crop i've had in a looooong time.

and as far as airconditioner go,thats why you need some solar panels so you can enjoy your a/c without puting more pressure on the enviroment.

la nina weather , what concerns us most is the amount of fire fuel , growing now, only to dry out later.
Keep safe and firewise, aussie neighbours!

thanks !

Hey retard, solar panels wont power an air conditioner fuckstick.Using electricity does not put any pressure on anything stop your lies.

The rain is starting to piss me off. My back garden is flooded, and my chickens are looking half drowned.

I couldnt exist without an airconditioner now. I grew up with only ceiling fans. We also had leather lounge and would sweat like anything everytime we would sit on it in 40 degree days. The older I have gotten the more precious I've become.

SOGGY DOOM DWN UNDER!!

In 2008 or thereabouts, QLD dam levels down to 18%. Now 100% and holding. Love this shit.

o remember 3 months before the change came the BOM advised whether patterns would turn to la nina from el nino.

basically we are go from drought to floods, nice to see the farmers get a break.

This is why the China, Singapore and Saudi Arabia are snabbling up acres and acres of Australian farm land.

Fuck the farmers. I want beach weather.

More wet to come..
