And.....according to ABC special weather science guy - it's a few things combined, general summer patterns plus a few extra bits, interrior is very dry apparently not much winter rain(??) or something, somethign wasn't paying attention unfortunately.
Rambled about something else then what stood out, no el ninos or ninas effecting us at moment - yeah, I know what they are;
Next bit - it's a DELAYED MONSOON thing happening too that will keep us hot and dry until MONSOONS happen.
Worst thing he said, looking worried, apparently it's some timing issue and if the timing is off next monsoon opportunity - we are fucked
I can cope as long as we keep getting the yo-yo pattern, our forcasts keep going - too hot day/stinky night/cooler for 2 days/stinky hot day/night/2 days relief again.
