Brutal heatwave in Australia.

Add this one to AU's grim heat tally: Thursday's *low* temperature of 96.6°F at the town of #Noona was the hottest daily minimum in Australian weather history.

For the first time on record, the airport at Australia's capital city has hit 104°F on four consecutive days.

 

Thats incredible, theyve been having a run of hot summers lately.  I wonder if that is any indication of how our summer will be

Can't blame the model, it just does what it is told.

This should however serve as a cautionary example, to keep people from getting too enamored with some specific model run.

Imho, longer range forecasting is still embryonic at best. The skill levels must be embarrassing, but that is ok, we start from a low base.

The main concern is that there does not seem to be a clear strategy for improvement other than to get more computer power to allow tighter model grids.

Given the erratic performance of the tight grid IBM model, (Deep Thunder, I believe it is called) perhaps that is too optimistic a view.

Possibly the models will need to have still better integrated physics, not a quick fix at all.

Yeah they should just do like college rules, but most OT games haven't ended in one possession since the new rule was implemented

That may be true but to me it’s quite unfair that the opposing team doesn’t even have the opportunity. This is especially evident in the playoffs.

OT rules in the NFL are awful, game is basically decided on a coin toss. That about clinches my decision to not watch yet another Super Bowl with the Pats.

Yeah, I'm no fan of these rules tbh.  Both teams should get to touch the ball, period.

"In recent months and years, you’ve likely noticed some changes to the Intellicast site as we’ve incorporated the Weather Underground personal weather station network"

Didn't see any explanation in there as to why the WU PWS network has become next to unusable recently.  Anyone got a new link?  I think I found what I was looking for but the navigation was horrible (and excessive) and can't bookmark anything but the starting page.
