Esperance bushfires: firefighters battle through the night
"here's hoping it turns out not too bad for all of you over there ("Meteorologists say the current El Nino has already served to quiet the South Asian monsoon season.") (. . .) -- as you've just entered your spring and enter your peak heat in three months, in phase with it
and that in return we, in particular California, actually do get at least some real good part of what we do actually need (after the rather long mostly La Nina pattern which of course so helped set that up in the first place) -- within not many more weeks now, should, would expect/hope to, see at least some initial pattern-consistent jet flow set-ups, bringing at least some initial corresponding intrusions of moisture into California "

Farmers lose 'best ever crop' Nine News Perth Reporter Michael Genovese was at a community meeting in Esperance and said some farmers are still unable to head back to their land to asses the damage.
He said the resilience shown by those who received bad news was astonishing.
"I spoke to one lady whose family has been farming this land for more than 100 years and she said that this was the best crop ever", he said.
"For that to wiped away quiet literally up in smoke is so emotional."

"We're in a scenario that a record is possible [on Friday]," Michael Logan, the bureau's severe weather manager for NSW, said. "We'll certainly go close."
If the sea breezes are kept at bay as expected, temperatures will be fairly uniform across the Sydney Basin. Bondi is expected to reach 41 degrees, as is Penrith, some 50 kilometres to the west.
A 40-plus reading would be enough to make it Sydney's hottest three-day spell in November in 79 years, Weatherzone said.
