My old National Night-Time Hot Spot (NNTHS) may have been vanished but several more candidates are blinking away 2013-2020. I see there are “cool spot” anomalies repeating too.
BoM data is so tortured they can not rid these maps of obvious errors. Larger map.
I have no idea what significance there is to these maps..None whatsoever…
And I take an interest in the weather, the BOM and so called climate change…
So god knows what ordinary folk think.
Hundreds of BoM temperature recording stations contribute time series of data to build the contour data for these maps. And there are no valid reasons any particular sites or small areas should frequently star as anomalously warm or cool over any periods. Warm or cool anomalies should be randomly distributed over Australia for each and every period the maps are generated.
Here are some areas which show persistent cooler anomalies.
In WA – Wyndham,
In SA – just west of Mildura
In NT – Larrimah
In Qld – near Palmerville and inland from Mackay which looks like a data gap.
In NSW and Vic long term data is more reliable and the only dodgy signal I see is warmth near Lakes Entrance that is too persistent.
Warmer areas that are too persistent include –
Qld – Region between Haddon Corner and Quilpie
NT – Jervois and area east of Wyndham.
WA – the data gap south of Warburton is too often anomalously warm.
As is the Pilbara coast near Onslow and Port Hedland.
>”BoM data is so tortured they can not rid these maps of obvious errors” [Wazz, above]
Yes, exactly.
A recent talk by Richard Lindzen pointed out that when competent scientists are paid sufficiently, some will collude in a simplistically simplified, knowingly corrupted public narrative.
The BoM today (Friday April 9, 2021) has some spokesperson intoning that an Antarctic cold front due over SE Australia in a few days “has jumped to Australia” – attributing a human activity to fluid flows and infantilising the population they are supposed to inform.
Hi Warwick.
This “NNTHS” find of yours and the “Camouflage illusions in the matrix” find of mine are turning out to be the tips of the ice berg so to speak. I have found too much to document here but here is a big clue as to what is going on.
Meet the National Morning Damp Spot. In W.A.
Click through days, weeks, months, years etc. This may be worthy of another of your great animations.

Thanks Lance for showing us we may be just scratching the “tip of the ice-berg” of the BoM data shambles.
