Brisbane means: February: 23.2C -> 32.8C ..... January: 23.0C > 31.4C ..... December: 21.2C -> 30.1C Looking ahead to March: March, 2016 was: 20.7C -> 29.9C We don't see much respite till April, usually. Sounds very much like Missouri in July. And we DON'T HAVE the ocean. What you griping about? I'm allowed to hate the heat AND THE HUMIDITY. "No ocean" sounds ideal.

Reykjavik had 51cm of snow dump on it last night, most snow seen in Feb since 1937...
---update---
My mate in dubai says the rain there is unprecedented today!!

Well it now appears the naughty QBO has been having some odd impacts on the running of the MJO which in turn has left the Southern hemisphere Hurricane/typhoon/cyclone season very low on storms. It appears that the convection has all been centred over land ( W.Australia/S.Africa ) allowing heat to be retained in the oceans; You can see ENSO region 4 taking quite a wallop so maybe this is why Nino is favoured this year? QBO is currently trying to turn easterly again ( loopy polar Jet and Equatorial convection mode?) so we'll need to wait and see what becomes of this latest effort to reverse Easterly? If it again fails then we may well be seeing the evolution of the AGW driven " near permanent Nino conditions " ? As ever weith such things it will be obvious why what happened happened but a.t.m. it appears to all be guesswork as why this is occurring? They said when QBO failed to turn Easterly last year it was probably down to the Super Nino ongoing at that time. If we see it fail again then we will need to look elsewhere for a forcing powerful enough to wrought such changes in the ordering of the Equatorial Stratosphere. The weak , out of position, constantly disrupted Polar Vortex may well be showing us where to look for the forcing? With the Polar troposphere being the shallowest it would be easy to see planetary waves pushed into the lower strat as these major storm systems have pushed through into the Arctic Basin this winter. If last years Storms drove the Feb failure in the Strat then this time that forcing has been much stronger ( as the lack of FDD's across the basin shows us! ) so what will we see?

we may well be seeing the evolution of the AGW driven " near permanent Nino conditions " What are the actual mechanics whereby such a result is even possible? Seriously ... how would this happen?

The only mechanics are previous warmth, current warmth. UV is the driver of ocean temperatures. It is that simple. It can take a 1,000 years for past warmth to resurface.

Thanks Sig. I've just posted that elsewhere with a headline: Geologists and paleontologists make the best climate scientists ..... because they PROVE that nothing happening today, is in any way, unusual. Anthropogenic carbon dioxide is a bit player ....... natural forces/variability rule!

This is what happens when you have a continual El Nino ..... ?? " Blizzard Warning For Hawaii, Severe Weather Hits State HAWAII ISLAND (BIVN) - More heavy snow is predicted for Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, as well as high winds.
HAWAII – The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a Blizzard Warning for Big Island summits above the 11,000 feet elevation. The new warning, in effect until 6 a.m. HST Thursday, replaces the Winter Storm Warning previously in effect." www.bigislandvideonews.com/2017/03/01/blizzard-warning-for-hawaii-severe-weather-hits-state/
