When the Bureau of Meteorology made its forecast for today last Staturday it was spot on they should not have bothered adjusting it down a degree.*
Today we reached 42.6 degrees Celsius. 🥵 (The ABC article was not up to date when I view it.)
With weather records tumbling and extreme weather becoming more extreme and frequent - predicted consequences of damage to our climate - we are well overdue to be taking transformative action to turn around our trajectory.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck about what to, I may be able to help. Just put STUCK in the Comments.
* (To be fair, since last Friday BoM has been forecasting 9 days of extremely hot (for Canberra) weather. The also have been slighty adjusting the forecast temperatures a few times each day and over-estimated by 2 degrees yesterday. I am also grateful that this heatwave we are getting a little relief overnight - unlike my friends and family in Adelaide, western Victoria and further west in NSW have had over the last few nights.)
