Australia: October blew away heat records for any month of any year: Bureau of Meteorology
2015-11-03 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Morning Herald: The red-hot start to October barely let up, setting Australia up for its most abnormally warm month in records going back to 1910, the Bureau of Meteorology said. The arrival of summer-like conditions several months early has combined with on-going dry conditions in many southern parts of the country to create dangerous fire conditions, authorities say. Nationally, maximum temperatures were 3.44 degrees above average for October, eclipsing the previous record deviation of 3.41 degrees set in...
El Nino likely in next few months: Australian Bureau of Meteorology
2014-07-01 07:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Pacific Ocean surface temperatures are at levels associated with a weak El Nino but the threshold for the weather event has not yet been breached, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said on Tuesday. While temperatures remain elevated and trade winds have re-emerged, typical with an El Nino, waters below the surface have cooled, the BOM said. Despite the mixed picture, the Bureau continues to indicate that El Nino is likely to develop by spring 2014.

El Nino likely in 2014, Australian Bureau of Meteorology says

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said an El Nino could occur during the southern hemisphere winter, May-July, with Australian cattle and grain farmers already struggling with drought which has cut production. The last El Nino in 2009/10...

Meteorology needs bold leadership
2013-01-08 16:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Climate researchers have suffered from a very severe loss of public confidence and trust in their competence and integrity over the last three years. Meteorologists now have an opportunity to repair the damage and to restore the role of the profession in the democratic processes of public debate and policy-making. A YouGov poll carried out on 3-4 December 2009 (a couple of weeks after the "climategate" emails first appeared online) found that only 41% of the public agreed that, in general, they...
