[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] Well last year was officially the hottest year in Australia since records began. For the last... 4 years we have not had a winter - oh it got cold - maybe winter pyjamas were required on one night - but that was about it. Gone are the lovely cold winter days and nights. In Brisbane, around show-day (Ekka/The Exhibition) we should be getting gusty Westerly winds. We haven't had them or they have come a month late for the last 4 or 5 years. Currently it's the worst drought on record. Our dams are at 33.9% capacity. At 30% we go to stage 3 water restrictions. A Ban on hoses and if you want to water the garden it has to be with a bucket. We've had a few storms this summer - but nothing like we used to get in the late eighties/early ninties. Usually you'd get an awesome thunder storm every evening - or at least every second evening during summer. (Summer is our wet season). North Queensland hasn't had a cyclone in a number of years. They maintain we aren't in an [i]El Ni�o[/i]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
