Spare a thought for the BoM – it has been a tough six months for Australian warmists
February 22nd, 2011 by Warwick HughesThe week of hot weather in Sydney early in February must have raised spirits in the BoM and other followers of the IPCC bandwagon. I would guess that this induced a hyper-excited state that lead to such a shoddy “SPECIAL CLIMATE STATEMENT 27″. Let us remember that the last six months of maximum temperature (day-time) anomalies looks pretty much cool for the vast majority of the continent.

Then along came Cyclone Yasi which coincided with the one week NSW heat wave – January 30th and February 6th.
Here is the max anomaly map for week ending 8th Feb –

note the extensive cool anomalies compared to what is left of the heat wave – I must remember to get a map that ends at 6th Feb.
And the last week available is pretty much cool too.

I don’t know if anyone’s been following Ken Stewart’s attempts to obtain info from BOM; encapsulated here

Yep… it certainly has been a tough six months for Australian warmists, and the BoM.
And you know what… studies like the following one, which links floods and droughts to El Nino/La Nina events, simply add insult to injury:
