Australian climate

[GIMH]

Unacceptable. I’m monitoring the situation but so far seems underhand

Thread title presumes the nation of Australia in fact has a climate. Rather, it appears they need to get one.

This is the exact opposite to a stockstandard Ashes series - England are racist and it's raining in Australia.

Somethings haven't changed though........the Aussie cheating is a comforting constant.

I'm having a bath to celebrate

It never rains in Australia in December.

Wow!

That's something else ticked off for another 12 months.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

the rain has questions to answer

 

[GIMH]

Pathetic

Stop your whining. 'Rain' is about to slot in behind 'Joe Root' and 'Extras' as your 3rd best contributor this series.

"Rain" is the only player England has that can eek out a draw for them. Nothing else lasts long enough.

Replace 'Australian' with 'Sydney' in the thread title and you have my agreement.

It'll get worse as the years go on too (at least if some of the modelling I've seen is anything to go by). They might have to think about putting a roof over it, you can't keep having this every year.

EDIT: Obviously you'd have to make it a D/N test if you did that though.

Over what period of time is this expected to worsen? And what do you mean by worsen? 10% more rain in January? 30%? 200%?

Wouldn't it be better to move the Sydney test to a slightly better time of year instead?

We're in a la Nina year this year. It's wet everywhere.

I don't have numbers, but the general consensus I've seen is that the EAC is going to get stronger (and warmer), and the summer subtropical ridge is going to get stronger and more southerly. Both these things will mean more summer rain for Sydney.

That's the opposite messaging from the IPCC 6AR, which says it will get fractionally drier across the entirety of the country.
