It's been unusually wet and cold in New England NSW. (edit: New South Wales, Australia) Seems to make some sense with extra heat meaning extra water in the air, meaning more water to fall out of the air when it hits the 1.4km high great dividing range.

It seems China also copping extra water.

Changing air currents and AMOC / SMOC also causing some interesting changes in weather distribution.

New England North South West seems confusingly named.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah when England ~~took over~~ ‘discovered’ Australia and decided to lack imagination on names

Ha, I'm in N.E., and I don't understand it.

There's also a New England region in Australia. NSW is New South Wales.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure they're talking about New South Wales, Australia?

Well, I'm a dumb American... So.. 😉

yeah, higher temperature makes everything more wet in general. consider the tropical areas near the equator, they're the wettest regions on earth.

And water vapour acts as a greenhouse gas, so there's one of many catastrophic feedback loops

they’re the wettest regions on earth.

Not according to your mom last night.

We better build a wall, summer is coming. We can staff it with convicts and keep all the illegals out who were unfortunate enough to buy land in the wrong states.

You want to wall off Victoria and Queensland?

[–] czardestructo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Sorry I skimmed it and read New England in America, because we also had a very wet early summer. Plus everything is always about America, right?! Please just ignore me.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

SA too.

We got a problem with ACT being in the middle. I say we dig under it and yeet it over to WA.

Just thinking out loud here, but around each republican voter in america, each member of the totally-not-nazis party in germany, etc., etc. should do the trick. Make each wall 4 meters high, 1 meter in radius, and completely smooth on the inside. Problem will take care of itself over a few days.
