Hasbeen - did you catch the bit that the scientists may not KNOW if Australia beat 1999's wettest individual patch record, because there was so much flooding some of the official rain gauges were knocked out of action!? Details after headlines:

Australia’s record-breaking weather in 2022: a very wet and sometimes very hot year

The country set new records for rainfall and maximum daily temperatures this year, according to the Bureau of Meteorology...

...In some areas, rainfall totals had to be assessed based on partial data after flood waters wrecked the monitors. The rain gauge at Lismore, which has had repeated floods, was knocked out during the record floods in February and wasn’t restored until August...

...The Murray Darling Basin, home to much of Australia’s food production, was unusually wet with an average rainfall total of just over 295mm in spring alone. Which was more than double the previous spring average of about 120mm and easily exceeded the previous record of 251mm set in 2011.

LONDON — For the first time on record, Britain suffered under temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius — 104 Fahrenheit — on Tuesday, as a ferocious heat wave moved northwest, leaving a trail of raging wildfires, lost lives and evacuated homes across a Europe frighteningly ill-equipped to cope with the new reality of extreme weather.

While the heat’s effects cascaded from Greece to Scotland, the greatest damage was in fire-ravaged France. More than 2,000 firefighters battled blazes that have burned nearly 80 square miles of parched forest in the Gironde area of the country’s southwest, forcing more than 37,000 people to evacuate in the past week...

...At least 34 sites broke the old British record on Tuesday, according to the Met Office, the national weather service, including at least six that reached 40 Celsius. Scotland blew by its old record of 32.9, with a reading in Charterhall of 34.8 — 94.6 Fahrenheit.

The heat continued a global pattern in recent years of leaping past records rather than breaking them in tiny increments.

"Hasbeen - did you catch the bit that the scientists may not KNOW if Australia beat 1999's wettest individual patch record, because there was so much flooding some of the official rain gauges were knocked out of action!? Details after headlines:"

Max you are not a messenger, just a brain washed dill, repeating every bit of propaganda you are fed. I certainly won't bother to hate you.

Oh you must have missed that the record was 1893, not 1990 something. Not many SUVs or coal fired power houses back then.

You may find this hard to believe, that just just like the farmers & postmasters of the late 1800s I can read a rain gauge, & like them, have more interest in doing it accurately than some bureaucrat "scientist" in an ivory tower somewhere, who's next grant depends on misreading it. The record I mention was taken just 1.5Km as the crow flies from me, but is backed up by readings from near by, & from hundreds of kilometers away in every direction but east, it is too wet out there.

You should know that the highest floods in Brisbane since settlement were either side of 1900, way higher than more recent levels, if you bothered to look at the records yourself.

Yeah, you grab that little cherry and pick it out of context!

What a hero - you know how to cling to the one data-point that confirms your theory and ignore the 99% that don't.

Fortunately stubborn deniers of reality such as yourself are dying out, and the next generation is full of Greta's.

Fortunately the economic reality of solar panels and wind and PHES are starting to disrupt the energy market, and coal is collapsing.

Fortunately clean electric cars are selling fast and getting better.

And fortunately, every teething issue you deniers bitch about is gradually getting fixed. Because innovation. Because the market. Because we learn.

But you just cherrypick your little rain gauge and make assertions without evidence! Truly, rationally sceptical people ask questions, seek data, and then change their minds with the data. You just ignore what you don't want and go hell-for-leather straight into confirmation bias!

Sorry Max I have to agree with Hassy,

Your evidence is nothing like Hassy's, you have your scientists, Hassy has Cecil.

I bet you haven't made even one visit to Cecil's chook pun, up the road from Hassy's hobby farm, to get the real facts on CC. Cecil at 97 years young is still pumpn' it out, well figurative if not actually. Take this overwhelming evidence supplied to me by Hassy, Cecil's favourite, and number one layer, 'Betty' the Road Island Red, went off the lay last week during a thunderstorm, well surprise, surprise, Betty's back on the nest and pumpn' em' out! What more evidence do you require that CC is noting more than a Commie plot hatched by that bloke in China, Xi. Remember CHOOKS NEVER LIE! or Lay, take your choice.

Ha ha ha - I hear you Paul. I hear you!

Oh but it's sad.

Hasbeen - some science for ya! My chook beats your chook.

The temperatures were still high DESPITE being in a La Nina!

National mean temperature for January to November 2022 was 0.56 °C above the 1961–1990 average.
2022 is on track to be between the 25th and 15th warmest year since national temperature records begin in 1910, with the final value anticipated to be similar to last year.
Temperatures for January to November were above average to very much above average for northern Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and south-east South Australia, Western Australia's west coast and southern interior; but below average for some pockets of inland Australia.
For January to November, national rainfall was 24% above the 1961–1990 average.
The national year-to-date rainfall is the ninth-highest since 1900 when analyses commenced, and has already exceeded the 1961–1990 annual average.
Year-to-date rainfall was very much above average for the south-eastern quarter of the mainland, but below average for western Tasmania, the eastern half of the Top End of the Northern Territory, and far south-west Western Australia.
Persistent rain falling onto saturated catchments saw significant flooding affect large parts of eastern Australia multiple times during the year.
For 2022 as a whole, Australia's annual rainfall is likely to be in the 20 highest annual totals, but not likely to rise into the top 10.
