I notice in this latest BoM bumph about 2015 being “…Australia’s fifth hottest year on record” this gem saying that they called the current El Nino in May 2015. Here is the BoM El Nino page from April 2014 – looks like they were talking it up pretty big then.
On 20 May 2014 they were spruiking – Tropical Pacific Ocean edges further toward El Niño – By late July El Nino was on hold.
They forget to mention that last winter Sydney experienced its coldest spell in 26 years, and NSW its coldest for 18 years – even CO2 warming alarmist Peter Hannam of the SMH reported it… www.smh.com.au/environment/weather/sydney-weather-coldest-spell-in-26-years-and-more-chilly-mornings-ahead-20150803-giqaui.html
The Warmistas like to talk about El Nino early and often as it is about their only chance these days to see any genuine increase in global temperature. Other than El Nino, it is back to the old adjustments which are now approaching or are already in obviously false levels.
And of course today (Wednesday) was the coldest January day in sydney for 38 years.
It’s warmer because their are more airports where BoM record temperature, and more planes that fly out of them. I have checked Broome every day for a while now, and there’s a spike whenever flights take place. That’s usually around 10 to 10.30 and/or 12 to 1 or thereabouts.
This time of the year where it’s constantly blowing WNW to SW, there is a spike of around 1C, sometimes showing at the same time as on the half hour Broome Observation pages. I don’t know how that could happen! www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60801/IDW60801.94203.shtml
For the rest of the observations during the day, there is little difference every half hour. There is no spike at all showing 8km south at the Port. Temperatures there are very even. www.bom.gov.au/products/IDW60801/IDW60801.94203.shtml
So what caused the warmth in 2015 was a strong El Nino (and not CO2). By their own words, …………..
Roy Spencer places 2015 as the third warmest year globally of the satellite lower stratospheric temperature record behind 1998 and 2010.
Bob Tisdale compares the global lower troposphere temperature anomaly so far during the current 2015/2016 El Nino with that of the 1997/1998 El Nino. He concludes:
