Out today by AlboGov funded ABC – I expect the ABC will have a team working to refine their campaign denigrating the “No Case” www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-25/voice-no-campaign-strategy-facebook-ad-spend/102510194

Canberra has coldest June morning for 36 years
Minus 7.2 is the coldest daily min for June at Canberra Airport since 1986
I have not found that the ABC www has reported this.
It flies in the face of what BoM said on 1st June.
The Bureau forecasts warmer and drier winter conditions for much of Australia 01/06/2023
media.bom.gov.au/releases/1169/the-bureau-forecasts-warmer-and-drier-winter-conditions-for-much-of-australia/
I notice Weatherzone skillfully confuses the issue with any month.
Ben Domensino, 21 June 2023, – Coldest morning in 5 years for parts of NSW, QLD, ACT
www.weatherzone.com.au/news/coldest-morning-in-5-years-for-parts-of-nsw-qld-act/1342232
The minus 7.2 flies in the face of the ever increasing Canberra urban heat island – just checkout recent developments near Canberra Airport.
Does not exactly back the warming meme that demands we commit to NetZero by whenever.
UKMO BoM Weather Observation Website going nowhere
Summary of UKMO BoM WOW pages
bom-wow.metoffice.gov.uk/
they say “Welcome to the Bureau of Meteorology Weather Observation Website The Bureau of Meteorology has collaborated with the UK Met Office so Australians may easily lodge and share weather observations, information and photos. Find out more about WOW and read the Bureau’s Disclaimer. For official Australian data, forecasts and warnings, go to www.bom.gov.au.”
There is a Blog or as they say a Forum.
groups.google.com/g/met-office-wow
And we find the first posts to the Forum were ~Aug 2013 and there were 111 posts and last post was in Oct 2018. So the public seems to have given up on WOW. I think it is clear from the URL that WOW was originally a UKMO idea – I guess BoM jumped on board and apart from the map of real time temperatures it all looks a bit like an unloved project now. Remember Climategate started in Nov 2009 so WOW was initiated by UKMO not long after dust was settling from Climategate which was a disaster for many many IPCC compliant National Met Office Orgs like UKMO and BoM.
A personal note here – WOW went under my radar till I heard about it in the last week or so on a sceptics email forum.

Back in March I blogged
SW WA rainfall the arm-waving Gov misinformation continues as BoM closes or neglects rainfall stations
www.warwickhughes.com/blog/?p=7120
Several subjects to be covered/touched on/updated in this important contested area flooded with Gov funded misinformation.
I listed issues A to H all very much alive.
