Raining On Bureau's Parade

Maybe this bunch of whackos should try getting their short term forecasts
right before trying 100 years out!!

December 3 2008

The Bureau of Meteorology admits:

In marked contrast with recent months, November was a wet month through most
of Australia. Averaged over the continent it was the eighth-wettest November
on record, with only a few areas significantly below normal. The wet
conditions were also reflected in the temperatures, with daytime maximum
temperatures below normal, and overnight minimum temperatures above normal,
over large parts of the country.

Not quite what the global-warmists of the Bureau predicted just five weeks
ago:

The national outlook for temperatures over the November to January period
shows a moderate to strong shift in the odds favouring warmer than normal
conditions over eastern Australia. ...Across the rest of the country,
including WA, south western NT and western SA, the chances of a warmer than
average November to January period are between 40 and 60%,

Ditto in September:

The national outlook for average December quarter (October to December)
maximum temperatures shows a moderate to strong shift in the odds favouring
warmer than normal conditions over much of eastern and southern Australia.

Yes, we still have December to go, but my confidence isn't high that these
same people can accurately predict warming for the next 100 years.

And a wake-up, please, to those who shouted that the rains would dry up, so
why build a dam?
