One can feel the impending 'build up' season approaching. My son's place out in the Darwin rural area much hotter this afternoon than my place near the coast.  |

An interesting article re the changeing rainfall patterns in Northern Australia journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/hydr/aop/JHM-D-21-0116.1/JHM-D-21-0116.1.xml?fbclid=IwAR0xm_4UUx6HlqHP8RZiituhBQwYADC3SAU5Prv9kS3ZIdOVc6Mg-Lqx3eE A new scholar journal in 2022 on the Top Ends Hydrometeorology "Centennial annual rainfall pattern changes show an increasing trend with higher variation over Northern Australia" Our results illustrated that rainfall patterns in Northern Australia have changed significantly compared with the early period of the 20th century. Specifically, (1) A significant increasing trend in annual precipitation associated with greater variation in recent decades was observed over the entire study area; (2) Temporal variations represented a mean rainfall periodicity of 27 years over wet to dry regions; (3) An abrupt change of annual rainfall amount occurred consistently in both humid and arid regions during the 1966-1975 period; (4) Partitioned long-term time series of rainfall demonstrated a wetter rainfall distribution trend across coastal to inland areas that was associated with more frequent extreme rainfall events in recent decades. The findings of this study could facilitate further studies on the mechanisms of climate change that influence rainfall pattern changes. |
