cohenite,

Care to start a thread on hot autumns?

Rather warm in the West lately....

Poirot, according to BOM Tmin does increase in summer (wetter) and also spring, but is decreasing in autumn. Tmax increases slightly in winter and spring but not as much as Tmin is decreasing so definitely no winter decrease in DTR.

DTR is diurnal temperature range and according to AGW theory should be decreasing so that winters will be warming; the theory says AGW is more noticeable at night and in the colder months because it will affect the Tmins.

Not happening. Neither is AGW. Do you have to be slapped in the face with a fish before you can accept that?

cohenite,

To tell you the truth, I'm a bit boggled about the whole thing - and sick of slinging insults : )

It's quite warm over here at the moment, seems unusually warm to me (not saying it's AGW, but just out of interest)...the same as a couple of years ago we had a really weird "cold" winter with oodles of clear sunny days (again, not saying it's AGW, but interesting just the same)

I found this on Trove about the 1910 record for April....http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/37408216

Hi Poirot,

Warm autumns ? I recall that at the beginning of April, 1986 here in Adelaide, it hit the old century. Mid-July that year was one of the coldest winter months ever, maximum of 8 degrees on about the 17th.

[Why the hell do I remember that ??]

Swings and roundabouts :)

Cheers,

Joe

The Trove is a great place for climate facts; 2 things; the BOM tends to scorn pre-2010 'facts' and back then the MSM could be relied upon a bit more to report climate facts then they can be today because weren't concerned with AGW.
