If you wanted some proof of a bias in the mainstream media towards weather events having to be being global warming related. Just look at the lack of reporting of the record-breaking cold and the deep snow has fallen across Southern Louisiana and Florida... Hardly a mention on the BBC, shock! 
Nearly a foot of snow falling right on the Gulf coast next to water that's currently around 20C that sits at latitude not far off the tropics.. Now that is what I'd call truly spectacular weather.

As an example of this, the mean temp of my own country has risen by 0.4c  just since 2020 alone, as compared to the 1981 - 2010 average.

We stayed in Mission Beach one year and the nearby town of Tully has the golden gumboot in the centre,. It is 8 metres high and the claimed record rainfall for a year for any town in Australia. This is pretty close to Innisfail, which is one of the towns affected now.

It's an area with interesting topography in that the mountains (well over 1000m and up to 1600m) are very close to the coast along this stretch so the tropical lows just circle around for days on end like this system is.

Incredible rainfall totals as expected in Queensland now.

Ingham Aerodrome is up to 1040mm in the last 3 days with 5 hours to go until the 9:00am cutover, today is already at pretty much 400mm.

In the last 2 hours, the rate has slowed to 30mm/hr, with the 2 hours preceding that at 50mm/hr.

Just noticed on the 31st January it reached 24 C at the Falkland Islands while Riyadh managed 18 C.

Like I said in an earlier post, I know they are at opposite ends of the globe each with their own particular climate type and season but it's something that interests me.

The 24 C in Falklands is quite unusual, a bit like Wick in Scotland reaching similar temperatures.

For Riyadh, 18 C is quite normal at this time of the year as they do have short winters, but it start to warm up appreciably now with max temperatures commonly in the low-mid 20's (I think the average max is 21 C in January.

I remember reading in The Times midday temperatures of 7 C in Riyadh on 1 day in late December 1987 after being mostly between 20-25 C for early half of the month, which really took me by surprise!

BBC Radio 4 saying that a cat 5 cyclone is about to hit N Queensland but there doesn't appear to be a link yet.

Apparently that area has been experiencing an unusual sequence of tropical LPs with potential development
