If you consider that in reality 2012 was as wet as any recorded year in prior history then it is obvious that weather patterns are changing.Previous wettest was only 6.6mm more in the whole year (2000), which may be due to measurement error due to wind, etc.
Whether it is a permanent (global warming) or natural long cycle weather change is down to opinion as there doesnt seem to be enough validated data to judge IMHO

Personally I dont believe the global warming stuff as it is too vague but there is without doubt there is a warming of the natural environment.

Well today it was 25C outside in the sun and 18C inside the house, shade air temperature is 17C.
We would expect a Jan average of 14C so it is up.

Well lets hope you dont get any fires like in Tasmania.

Adelaide is pretty dry at the best of times but in summer it is hot and dry. And you still have a couple more months of heat. Stay safe.

I think it is more or less accepted that weather runs in cycles. Some longer than others and maybe even cycles within cycles. At only 79 years of age I probably haven't seen enough cycles to be a prognosticator of them. I know I have lived in southern Arizona for over 30 years and few years have been the same in relation to weather. One Christmas you can go swimming and the next Christmas it snows.I had a tomato plant that lived in the garden for 2 years and produced tomatos and one Christmas I planted a Poinsettia recieved for Christmas near the front door and it grew to 15ft tall. What does all this show,probably nothing but it does show that weather is in constant change. Some years bird migrations are huge some years there are almost none (and I pay attention being an avid birder). It does make an interesting discussion though I doubt there will be much concensus.
