Having just emerged
from what the Climate Council has branded an “Abnormal Autumn”, parts of
Australia have stepped into a “Weird Winter”.
Shepparton News
reporter, Jarrod Whittaker reported today that the average monthly rainfall for
June was 35.8mm and that was nearly equalled on June 1 this year, the first day
of winter, with falls on that day amounting to 32.2mm.
Jarrod also reported that Shepparton had produced figures in
May that confirm the Climate Council’s “Abnormal Autumn”.
Shepparton experienced a maximum average in May 18.2C, which
easily bettered the long-term average of 17.6C.
In what was a confirmation of scientific predictions, while
the temperatures went up in May, they rain also came down in record levels.
Higher rainfalls and higher average temperatures are the
fingerprint of climate change.
