November in the record books

SUMMER has come to Perth in the nicest possible way – a mild 25 degrees well below the 40-plus temperatures that mugged locals last year.

A prediction of average summer heat was more welcome news for West Australians, who have experienced what the Bureau of Meteorology said was one of the coldest, wettest Novembers on record.

Almost 60mm of rain over 13 days last month gave Perth and southern parts of Western Australia their wettest November since 1991, and the seventh wettest November since record-keeping began in 1876.

By comparison, Perth registered just 5.2mm of rain on three days in November last year, forecaster John Relf said.

“The average for November is 22mm on about six days,” he said.

The below-average temperatures saw the city post its first November without a 30-degree day since 1964.

“Since 1897, only five Novembers had previously had no days of 30 degrees or above,” Mr Relf said.

By this time last year, Perth had already sweltered through 12 days of temperatures exceeding 30 degrees.

   Global Warming is a scam. It is an unproven scientific hypothesis.

   It’s about selling you (or government) stuff you don’t need. And it’s another excuse to raise your taxes (A LOT). Oppose this propaganda being shoved down your throat!
