Melbourne scorcher to put heat on power, transportVICTORIANS are being urged to stay
inside and keep cool today as paramedics try to keep up with a wave of
heat-related emergencies. 43 degrees here we comeIt was a restless night for most and it's going to get worse with temperatures reaching the 40s before a cool change finally brings relief and thunderstorms.
The state is predicting to swelter through a scorching day, with the mercury expected to peak at 43C this afternoon. After reaching 39C at 4.30pm yesterday, the midnight temperature in the city was still an uncomfortable 33C. The overnight minimum was 28.6C at 7am. Melbourne temperatures have since steadily been rising, reaching 34.8C just before 12pm. ROLLING UPDATES: RESIDENTS URGED TO GO AS FIRES RAGE HOMES UNDER THREAT IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA BUSHFIRES Ambulance Victoria responded to about 20 calls for help from people struggling in the heat overnight, with 15 patients taken to hospital, while another four cases of children locked in cars were reported.
Laurie Chapin and son Quinn cool off at the NGV’s water wall. Picture: Josie Hayden State health commander Paul Holman said most patients were aged over 50 and included some people who were out doing backyard chores in the scorching heat. “We need to remain vigilant, particularly about the heat and particularly these two days because these are the first two extreme days we have encountered,” Mr Holman said. “We’re really urging people to make sure they heed these warnings. It’s very easy to stay safe, stay cool ... You don’t need to go and do that run. Just relax, stay inside, keep out of the sun.” Weather bureau senior forecaster Dean Stewart said the city was still forecast to reach 41C in the late afternoon, while Victorians in the north and west of the state will swelter at 43C. Mr Stewart said a cool change was expected to begin sweeping through from the state’s southwest corner by about 11am, with gusts of 90km/h before bringing temperatures down by about 10C.
Madison Campbell, 7, cools off at Oakleigh Recreation Centre. Picture: Stephen Harman Paramedics were also called to four cases of children locked in cars yesterday. Premier Daniel Andrews again warned parents not to leave their children alone even for a moment because he said it could have deadly consequences. Three kids aged under 10 were assessed by paramedics in a Narre Warren car park yesterday evening, while another three kids under five were also treated in Geelong last night. Two other incidents of children locked in cars were also reported to paramedics yesterday in Narre Warren and Port Melbourne. As the state’s power usage goes into overdrive, power companies also warned Victorians to brace themselves for potential outages. United Energy spokeswoman Samantha Porter said people should avoid running their air-conditioning too hard and to switch off appliances such as washing machines and dishwashers. “We want people to stay cool but to turn off any unnecessary appliances to ease pressure on the network,’’ Ms Porter said. The heat is also expected to play havoc with trains, sporting events and motorists’ travel plans in rural areas.
Stacey, 13, cools off at Funfields, Whittlesea, yesterday. Picture: Adam Elwood Mr Holman said people aged over 65, young children and babies, and those with pre-existing medical conditions were most at risk. He urged people check on the vulnerable to try and prevent avoidable tragedies. “We urge people to check on their relatives and neighbours aged over 65 to make sure that they are OK.’’ Mr Holman said simple precautions included avoiding the outdoors, increasing water intake and using cooling.

Prad Sathianathan at Port Melbourne beach. Picture: Mark Stewart Further train pain is predicted on Saturday with speed restrictions in force when the temperature hits 36C. Metro Trains cancelled six services on Friday afternoon including three to Pakenham and two to Laverton due to heat-related slowdowns to a maximum of 80km/h. The heat caused disruptions on the tram network, but maintenance crews were working through the night to ensure smooth services today. Widespread power outages across the state affected thousands of homes, and more were expected on Saturday.

Picture: Colleen Petch VicRoads has cautioned drivers to avoid non-essential travel to regional parts of the state due to extreme temperatures and the fire threat. It listed high-risk areas as Hamilton, Mortlake and east towards Colac and Geelong, and the Mallee, Wimmera, Grampians and Daylesford. Motorists were advised to take water and a fully charged mobile phone for emergencies on rural journeys.
Bistro Vue chef Valerio Sinti cooks an egg at Federation Square. Picture: Yuri Kouzmin Wildlife Victoria chief executive Karen Masson has urged Victorians to look out for animals at risk. A cool change is expected in the afternoon, bringing Melbourne’s temperatures sharply down to the mid-20C by 6pm. Push for car park signs to avoid children left in carsCHILD safety advocates are calling for laws that would force Victorian supermarkets and shopping centres to erect signs warning shoppers against leaving children in hot cars. As the summer heat rises, Kidsafe Victoria has stepped up its decade-long campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of leaving children in cars. President Erica Edmands said erecting signage at the entry of carparks should be part of planning permit requirements for all new shopping centres. She said a retrofit program should apply to existing supermarket carparks. Ms Edmands said signs were the most cost-effective way of protecting children from being left in cars and of drawing attention to the growing issue. “With the predicted increase in heat this summer, the erection of a $70 sign that is seen by thousands of people every day just a couple of minutes before they park the car, is a critical reminder that could save lives,” she said. Councils that have joined the campaign include the City of Frankston, City of Monash, Colac Otway Shire, City of Wodonga and the City of Kingston. |

2014 one of warmest years on record, but get ready for weekend soaking
Sweltering 2014 was the second-warmest year on record for Victoria, the Bureau of Meteorology said today. But Victorians should prepare for a wet one this Saturday, with significant rainfall expected to sweep through the state. Three months’ worth of Melbourne’s usual rainfall, or 110ml, is expected to fall this weekend, a Victorian BOM spokesman said. The heavy rain is expected to start in Broome and continue through Western Australia before hitting northern Victoria and extending across the bulk of the state. It is unclear yet where the rain will pose the greatest threat, but according to forecasters the southeast of the state including Wonthaggi and Wilson’s Prom could be among the worst hit. Last year was the third-warmest for Australia since reliable climate records began in 1910, with mean temperatures 0.91C above the long-term average.

The rise in mean temperatures. Picture: Bureau of Meteorology It comes after 2013 was last year labelled the hottest on record in Australia, with average temperatures at 1.2C above the long-term average of 21.8C. BOM Climate Information Services assistant director Neil Plummer said 2014 was a year that included six significant warm spells or heatwaves with a notable reduction in colder weather. “Particularly warm conditions occurred in spring 2014, which was Australia’s warmest spring on record,” Mr Plummer said. “El Nino-like effects were felt in drier and warmer conditions in much of eastern Australia during 2014.” As for the rest of this summer, a bureau meteorologist said: “We thought it would be a hot, dry season, but it’s looking to be a humid summer with moisture increasing.” The SES has warned farmers to move their livestock to higher ground and urged all Victorians stay informed and be aware of weather warnings this weekend. A spokesman said: “Tree fallings and roof collapses are the most common incidents in wet weather conditions.” Motorists are reminded to be careful on slippery roads and to pull over if their vision is compromised. Despite causing potential havoc for emergency services, the rain will bring much-needed relief to firefighters nationwide after the bushfire season flared in recent weeks. |

oh, sorry, 110ml. Didn't spot it earlier. So, that's four inches, there'll be local flooding, as the drainage and rivers won't cope.

New Reports: There Is No Global WarmingSunday, 04 Jan 2015 10:52 PM The liberal media machine has spent decades bulldozing anyone who tells you global warming is a sham.
They even came up with a clever little title — “deniers.” Every time a heat wave hits, every time a picture of a lone polar bear gets taken . . . the left pounds the table for environmental reform, more policy, more money to combat climate change. But how much has the world really warmed? Their message is simple: Get on the man-made global warming bandwagon . . . or you’re just ignorant. But how much has the world really warmed? It’s an important question, considering the U.S. government spends $22 billion a year to fight the global warming crisis (twice as much as it spends protecting our border). To put that in perspective, that is $41,856 every minute going to global warming initiatives. But that's just the tip of a gargantuan iceberg.According to Forbes columnist Larry Bell, the ripple effect of global warming initiatives actually costs Americans $1.75 trillion . . . every year. That's three times larger than the entire U.S. federal budget deficit. So, has anyone stopped to ask . . . how much has the globe actually warmed? Well, we asked, and what we found was striking. According to NASA’s own data via Remote Sensing Systems(RSS), the world has warmed a mere .36 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 35 years (they started measuring the data in 1979). Hardly anything to panic about; however, that does mean the world is warmer, right? The problem with that argument is that we experienced the bulk of that warming between 1979 and 1998 . . . since then, we’ve actually had temperatures DROPPING! As can be seen in this chart, we haven’t seen any global warming for 17 years. Weakening the global warming argument is data showing that the North Polar ice cap is increasing in size. Recent satellite images from NASA actually reflect an increase of 43% to 63%. This is quite the opposite of what the global warming faction warned us. In 2007, while accepting his Nobel Prize for his global warming initiative, Al Gore made this striking prediction, “The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff. It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.” Al Gore could not have been more wrong. However, despite this clear evidence that the temperatures are not increasing, the global warming hysteria only seems to be increasing. For example: President Obama himself tweeted on May 16, 2014: “97% of scientists agree: climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.” John Kerry, Al Gore, and a host of others have championed this statistic. Since then, it has become clear that this statistic was inaccurate. The Wall Street Journal went as far as to say, “The assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction.” Forbes headlined “Global Warming Alarmists Caught Doctoring ’97% Consensus’ Claims.” Come to find out, the study President Obama was citing was botched from the start. A host of other problems for the global warming crowd are emerging, such as . . .
It is becoming harder and harder for the global warming community to ignore some of the scientific data that show the Earth is not getting warmer . . . instead, the world is getting cooler. Which makes one wonder — why are we still spending $22 billion a year on global warming initiatives, and where is the money going? (Click Here to Read a Controversial Report on This Topic.)

Melbourne weather: stinking hot one minute, storming the next Daniel Fogarty Herald Sun January 07, 2015 3:57PM A STINKING hot 37C and sunny one minute, pouring rain the next — only Melbourne could put on weather like this. The city has certainly lived up to its four seasons in one day reputation today. After sweating through a hot and humid morning, a wild storm came through the city at about 1.45pm, bringing heavy rain and catching many people off guard. |

SES volunteers have worked through the night after wild storms lashed Melbourne on Wednesday, causing damage to at least 350 homes. More high winds and heavy rain are forecast for later on Thursday, as another potentially severe thunderstorm rolls through the city. There were more than 1000 calls for assistance made to the SES after the thunderstorm hit in on Wednesday afternoon, with most of the damage in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs. There were wind gusts of up to 98 km/h recorded in St Kilda. The city had seven millimetres of rain in 10 minutes. |

Melbourne could get its wettest January since 2011, with widespread heavy rainfalls expected in the state over the next few days. The northern parts of Victoria could get up to 100 millimetres of rain at the weekend and on Monday, while Melbourne could see as much as 70 millimetres. Victorians are being warned that the deluge could lead to flash flooding in some parts of the state. The rain will bring relief to parched areas under bushfire threat. Some parts of Victoria could get more than double their monthly rainfall average. Some parts of Victoria could get more than double their monthly rainfall average. Photo: Glenn Hunt Bureau of Metrology forecaster Stephen King said the rain would start on Friday and continue at the weekend until Monday. Advertisement He said Melbourne could expect between 50 and 70 millimetres over the four-day period, while other parts of Victoria could get between 50 and 100 millimetres. "That will be just on and north of the ranges and potentially just north of the Mallee as well," he said. Some areas could get more than double their monthly rainfall average from the downpours. Mr King said the last time Melbourne had such a wet start to the year was in January 2011, when there was 90 millimetres of rain in the month. The rain has come from a tropical low pressure system originating in the Indian Ocean off the north of Western Australia, which will also bring higher humidity. Weatherzone meteorologist Max Gonzalez said there would be some showers early on Friday before heavier falls later in the day and overnight. He forecast there would be as much as 10 to 15 millimetres of rain in Melbourne each day from Friday to Sunday, before falls of 10 to 20 millimetres on Monday. "The light at the end of the tunnel for those who want some sunshine isn't until Tuesday or Wednesday," he said. The expected top temperature on Friday is 19 degrees. |

The BOM said that Victoria would have heavy rains this weekend. 20mm at least per day they said ....... Batten down the hatches they said. Prepare for flooding they said.
Is it any surprise that they can't get long term forecasts right when they are wrong on a daily basis ?
