Just brought my rainfall chart up to date. It is certainly a bit dry. Our average rainfall is 935mm in this district, but to date we have had only 390mm. The rest of December should bring about 50mm more, so we may make it to 440mm, so still under 50% of average.

Greenies are screaming Global Warming, & at a quick glance that sounds fair. But hang on a minute, try some rainfall records going back a bit.

In 1994 our driest before this year we had 453mm, just 13mm more, & in 1902 the next driest we had 459mm,just 19mm more. 1926 was 501mm, & 1915 it was 540mm. Talk about scattered rainfall.

To confuse matters for meteorologists & greenies, 2017, yes just a couple of years back we had the highest flood in living memory. Why the hell can't this weather give us what we deserve, nice consistent weather, rather than this chaos no one understands, much as they may claim differently.

'Why the hell can't this weather give us what we deserve, nice consistent weather, rather than this chaos no one understands, much as they may claim differently.'

With what we deserve? Dangerous place to go Hasbeen. Greta and her fans argue that the weather is giving us what deserve kinda like Izzy said. So is it Father God, mother earth or just chance? The science is far from settled. I know whom I believe.

Brisbane just had a huge rainstorm, 100mm in an hour, with more to come. When we get rain, we don't store it.

While Australia's population has increased since 1990 by a staggering 40%, its increase in stored water has been a piddling 3%. We don't have a water problem. We have a water management problem, which means we have politician problem.

Hasbeen I am far from a greeny, and dry? your rainfall while you talk of your district would be heaven here
30 mm in last 60 days
They got more even double that in some places near me
You and anti climate changers tell us who differ this is a drought
And it is, it follows the bad one in 1994, and another in between
Mid north coast NSW firefighters are returning water to dams that went dry during fire fighting
This is bad and they say no normal rain until February!

Yes ttbn, some small areas in Brisbane got 100mm. We got exactly 2mm.

Yes ttbn they built a new dam down this way, but did not do the research of the ground in the area. I haven't bothered following the catastrophe, it's too depressing seeing just how incompetent a government can be, but they can't make the water suitable for potable water due to something in the soil in the catchment, & there is very little agriculture below the dam to use that water.

I guess at some time they will spend a fortune pumping the water to cool a power house.

Belly sometimes you are so insular. We got the same 30mm in July August & September, 92 days I believe, & a great 7mm in November.

Meanwhile please read & absorb my post. Then explain how you get recent climate change from the second lowest rainfall being in 1902. They hadn't even invented SUVs then, & we mined stuff all coal.

Hasbeen I read your posts, all of them, sometimes in threads I will not post in, because of a lack of civility
Yes you can produce such numbers
And yes they are true
But if I post about each record broken, the forecast next week may bring the hottest day in our countrys history?
If we record the truth, each new record breaks one usually only two or three years old?
Sorry you too are suffering this drought, sorry government of both colors have not had the brains to START A CENTURY LONG pump treated sewage inland turn storm water inland , stop letting sons of unwed parents who are not even farmers trading in our water we are in trouble
