I agree Pabloaka, the Millennium Drought was really bad. This drought is something out of a science fiction apocalyptic movie. I have never seen anything like it ever. A lot of the farmers that have been around a long time have not seen it happen like this before either.

I was just reading on the ABC News site that the fire and emergency Disaster response management team are expecting these fires to continue into the New Year and BoM are not expecting a lot of rain for a while either.

I think it is a long hot, windy summer with the occasional storm/s with some becoming extremely severe.

The interesting part will be to see what happens with the monsoon this year. I haven’t read the cyclone summary yet which I think is out.

I just had to step back from the weather and social media for a little bit and look after a few things.
