Pretty dubious aboout that article weary..

Written by ABC's meteorologist is the first warning sign but the heading "BOM rain forecasts close to perfect" made me laugh a little...

Due to the localised nature of much of the rain events, geography,big rainfall range over small areas etc its no surprise anything but a general forecast can be given..ie possible thunderstorms, showers tending to rain,etc..

So in effect perfect forecasting means "possible thunderstorms" is theoretically correct if one place gets even a few spits from a storm but the rest of the region gets nothing.....likewise 1mm from a passing shower but the rest of the region is dry makes a "possible shower' forecast also correct...

Yet the article claims that when we think BOM have it wrong thats just based on "perception"or "selective memory"...

Anyway none the less interesting but to me the whole article sounds like its written by someone trying to justify their job..


So weather wise it was down to about 16c here last night and my little staffy was snuggled up against me through the night...

Glorius weather days though(except for the SouEasters and I've been catching up on the mowing by doing a bit each day as the grass is very high and I'm trying to nurse the old Greenfield along for as long as possible...

Best get done before the weekend though as showery weather if forecast to return with a wetter month next month possible..
