We have all seen very recent headlines from last week beating up BoM warnings of a “brutal summer”.
See my 5 screensaves
Yesterday ABC obediently walked back some of BoM’s above enthusiasm of last week – publishing a map showing Australia enjoyed mainly average summer rainfall during the last 13 notable El Ninos (see screensave 5 at above ibb link).
You could not make this up – rush out scary stuff during the week then walk it back on Saturday.

whereas the BoM adjusted ACORN mean temperatures found August way warmer than July see chart link below.

Here is a BoM mean T anomaly map for August 2023 showing the red peak anomaly zone right through central wide brown land where there are few weather stations.
You could not make up BoM rubbish and add to that the changes to electric Pt resistance thermometers in recent decades all which can add to hotter readings.

This map of the wide brown land mean T deciles for winter shows both Sydney and Canberra regions as “Highest on record” yet both sites had warmer winters in 2013.
