Glad to contribute my small piece on extreme rainfall, not happy that it was necessary in 2025. This staggering response was led brilliantly by Andrew. Don't worry, there is a summary for policy makers (and everyone else)

What @AlanKohler?? Scientists have been screaming for decades about what's going on and what the consequences will be.
Today's @abcnews column: America has abandoned climate action; we should accept that net zero by 2050 won't happen, and prepare for the worst. https://t.co/NMvCnj8wVd

⚠️ La Niña - has NOT been declared⚠️ @BOM_au has NOT declared a La Niña active. This La Niña “declaration” from @SkyWeatherAUS is confusing for the public, reckless, irresponsible & shows a total disregard for the Bureaus offical criteria & any journalistic integrity. More👇

Unofficial La Niña declarations by media outlets are jumping the gun and spreading confusion
theconversation.com

What purpose is there for this besides plagiarism and paper mills....

2/2 And it will tell you if you have capacity (or not) for more projects! Obviously, based on my own estimates, but the code is adaptable. No more agreeing to too much and regretting it later. (This my first widget, be kind)

I made a widget for #postdocs that tells you if you have capacity for another project. Run the #Python code in jupyter then fill in the pop up boxes with e.g. how many first author projects, committees, papers you're reviewing. 1/2 https://t.co/j5UFJkBHbS

Why is it so muggy in #melbourne ? Because conditions that we would expect to find in the tropics have made their way as far south as Tasmania. Melbourne's dew point temperature (at 9am) of ~17C is much higher than the Oct average of ~6-7C #melbourneweather
