All three Australian BoM May 2020 Climate Outlooks turned out to be useless – hopelessly wrong – obviously the “BoM hot-shot weather & climate Honchos” had not a clue about what was coming down the Australian region weather/climate pipeline for May 2020.
May rain Outlook prediction – note predicted wet southern WA turned out dry – note how predicted dry tropics turned out so exactly wet. Gotta love that BoM.
May Max temperature Outlook prediction – note predicted cool southern WA turned out the national patch of warm days – note the predicted HOT tropics turned out cool. Utterly uselss BoM did not have a clue.
May Min temperature Outlook prediction – Yikes scorching hot nights predicted near everywhere by the omnipotent BoM but reality tells of anomalously cold nights mostly everywhere.
Yet this last week BoM people will have been pontificating wisely at the laughable Royal Commission on the fires – I bet not a peep from anybody about this recent embarrassing BoM disaster.
Geez what a shocker this month. And remember last December when the BoM said it wouldn’t rain until April or May to put the bushfires out? In the end it rained in January, and cats and dogs in February, putting all the bushfires out, but then turned out dry by May. Hopeless.
I love the way some regions turn out exactly wrong. The Kimberley predicted mostly normal rain turns out a wet clanger. Then the Tennant Creek region predicted wet turns out dry. Then the deep wet patch ESE of Gulf of Carpentaria was predicted normal. BoM models must have been run over by a bus.
The main takeaway from Max T Outlook was the hot tropics vs cool south yet zero sign of that in reality. Yet the only warm patch nationwide was in the predicted cool west Pilbarra area. Classic monster fail.
