These increasingly extreme weather events are certainly a worrying trend.

Milo, this is not extreme, is is WELL within normal known weather parameters, and is in fact very similar to the weather in this area during the 50's and 60's while I was growing up there. It has just been warmer for the last 40 odd years and the current crop raised during this time consider it extreme and abnormal while it is actually now closer to the long term average reality.

Well Australia can do better than that. Maybe the Poms are overstating the case!

At least we now have a new name in the Climate Change lexicon "Polar Vortex".

My suspicion (total bozo amateur kind) is that the "wobble" in the Polar Vortex is as much about the change in shape of the north polar ice cap as the reduction in its size.

What's even worse, my prized Dicksonia Antarctica has had all it's new croziers burnt off due to the heat.

the plant has survived and no doubt new croziers will appear later on.
