It is months since this complaint went into the BoM and all I have had back is a couple of URL’s that will not open. Continue reading BoM chooses not to explain Perth dams faulty rainfall data
BoM June 2018 Outlooks all failures
First checking daytime max temperature and we see a huge part of SE Australia with an 80% chance of seeing hotter than average days. The real world anomalies showed exactly the opposite with the SE cool.
The minimum – night-time temperature prediction had an east-west band of heat across the continent. And warmer nights in the SE coastal fringe. In real life June nights were mostly cooler than average across Australia with no sign of an east-west warm band.
The June rain Outlook was for mostly dry conditions in the SE yet there were many areas of average or near average rain there.
Amazing – BoM adopts rational view Perth rain history
News today from Perth hat tip to Chris Gillham – Perth weather: Why the Bureau of Meteorology dropped more than a century of rainfall figures 3Jul18 Facts are Perth region rain changed to a lower rain regime about 1975 – over 40 years ago. Of course it makes sense to view Perth region rain against post 1975 records because that is the rain regime Perth is experiencing. Anybody is still free to quote the older higher rain numbers pre 1975. The WA Govt can still bleat on about “our drying climate” as their assorted Water Depts do. Of course there are regions of Australia where the opposite has happened and rain has increased. About a decade ago the WA Ag. Dept used to advise farmers to use 30 or 35 year rain averages to avoid having unrealistic rain expectations – made sense. The WA Govt views on their rain history have oozed east to scaremonger eastern States water policies – on for example the needless introduction of several seawater desal plants at a total cost of many $Billions. More later on this. Just in May the WA Govt Water Corporation stopped publishing Perth dams rain numbers.

Record cold possible for Auckland
Never mention the ever growing and expanding urban heat island UHI – Record low temperatures possible in Auckland, Northland. Remembering walking to school in Glen Eden barefoot ~1950 through hard white frosts I would be amazed if readings would not have been below -1.5.
Labor asks coal fired generation question today
The PM was asked in question time by Labor re a statement by Paul Broad of Snowy Hydro throwing cold water on coal fired generation. I thought the PM shafted the stupidity implied in the question by pointing out that when Snowy Hydro 2.0 went ahead (great Dog of a thing) then Snowy Hydro would be buying power from coal generators.
Right now coal is providing 67.5% of the Eastern grid power – Gas is 15.4%, Hydro 15.8%, Solar 3.1%, Wind 0.9%, Totals 102.7 I see Paul Broad can speak from both sides of mouth. In April – ‘madness’ to close Liddell then in May Snowy 2.0 can ‘out-compete’ any new coal plants. If anybody can pass on exact text of question and answer please do. AEMO wholesale prices have kept an upward trend this month. AEMO – NemWatch – OpenNem – NemLog
Our Resources Exports Volumes in AU$ are going backwards
The RBA publishes this chart which they update frequently and below I compare the July 2014 edition with May 2018. Resources were way over $40Bn a Quarter in 2014 – now just $40Bn and checking the wiggles confirms the backward slide. Rural, Services and Manufacturing have all increased since 2014. I am assuming the Chinese exchange rate is the reason but I have asked the RBA. If anybody knows reason please pass on.
Thanks to an eagle eyed reader who pinged me this.
Antifa was born in the USSR
Since the election of Trump it seems far left street protest mobs worldwide including Communists, Trots, militant Greens and the alphabet soup of Socialists have tried to cloak their violence by using the term Antifa.
The aim here being to imply that the current Australian Govt and everybody to the right of Turnbull are fascists, which makes it easier to oppose all western progress as fascist.
I had no idea Antifa was an ancient Commo term with roots in the USSR pre WWII till reading my book “Moscow Mission 1946 1949” by Walter Bedell Smith who was a General on Eisenhowers staff. On page 250 (in chapter on Berlin Blockade) there is a reference to German POW’s “..given the standard “Antifa training”..” Also refers to “..two major Antifa schools for advanced training.”
Sheesh! if you had been in their gulag as a POW it would be v easy to get the answers correct and get back to what was left of Germany and family and then be a little viral commo agitator for the Russkies.
NSW coal electricity generation strike ends
OpenNem charts shows clearly how after the coal strike from Tuesday 5Jun18 to Saturday 9Jun18 when coal fired generation was restricted to below ~5,500MW and imports & prices were up – coal is now generating up to ~7,500MW as required and imports & prices are down.

Did somebody kick some butt? NemWatch has an article on the “outages” NSW coal chaos. IMHO the cluster of outages in cool weather looked deliberate, just part of testing and gaming the market. In order to get at the truth behind rocketing mad electricity prices we need a Royal Commission run by engineers.
ABC and BoM dodgy drought beatup
Following months of ABC articles beating up drought – this ABC/BoM inspired article claims worst drought for over a century in “Southern Australia” which is an academic geographic region that nobody would identify with. Farmers identify with their district and State. But lets play their game and check the “Lowest on Record” dark red area at Albany WA site of rainfall data from 1877. Bad luck for the climate scaremongers – Autumn in Albany was dryer in 1996(108.2mm) than 2018(112.2) – which just demonstrates how dodgy and tenuous BoM maps & stats are. (BTW Albany in Autumn 1898 only saw 93.9mm.)
Putting another torpedo into the BoM/ABC drought propaganda lets look at the Australian map for Autumn 2005 – Oh bugger NSW, Vic and SA are all much dryer than in 2018.
