here at north last summer broke some records if i remember it correctly.

We're hoping we are going to actually get a summer this year...
We've got La Nina (wet) going on this year & current long range forecasts are more of the same for another year - sigh
You'll get a summer all right, but be careful what you wish for!
Long, hot, dry & possibly record-breaking summer frizzling crops, bankrupting vineyards with vast swathes burned out in fires. Then floods running along dry ground but not soaking in. It's all before you.
Well, that's just normal for us
Drought, fire, flood ...
What pushed it over the edge few years ago was covid, just as we were getting back to normal down here.
Look, England, which is normally wet, damp & temperate-->cold like Ireland had 40°C this summer, frizzling stuff, and then floods running accross the ground instead of soaking in. Ireland, which has a much smaller land mass, wasn't badly effected because
We got a fairly solid feed of rain from the North Atlantic.
No part of Ireland is 100 miles from the coast.
Our resevoirs nevertheless ran down, our hydroelectric Power plants couldn't function, and there were high water problems in many places, although no serious floods. Sydney might be all right, but people in the centre of Oz will have it rough.
