Today we are worried that the weather is changing, and it is raining a lot more in a short time, I have not seen this before, so I am worried. Anyhow, I am writing this diary of what is happening, so that I can compare what is happening now to whatever happens in the future weatherwise.
Talking about the weather.
Dear readers, there are many things happening in the world, and there are many other problems, but in this blog, I want to talk mostly about what is happening in Australia, and because lately we have had so much rain, we will start talking about the weather.
Now let us talk about the weather because this is another problem that affects most people. You see, this the weather seems to be changing for the worse. Here in Brisbane Australia this month of March has rained a lot, it has rained for four days and three nights no stop, I have never seen this before. Now what I am saying next may seem strange, because we all believe that rain is beneficial to all plants, but it is not so. When it rains too much nonstop, a lot of plants will die, this has happened to me several times. This month of March 2022 has been even worse because most of the plants in my kitchen garden have died, and those that are still alive, are not growing much. So, if this sort of weather continues in the future, it will be a real problem. But let us see, what the internet says. (And I quote).
At any one time, Earth’s atmosphere holds only about a week’s worth of rain. But rainfall and floods have devastated Australia’s eastern regions for weeks and more heavy rain is forecast. So where’s all this water coming from?
We recently investigated the physical processes driving rainfall in eastern Australia. By following moisture from the oceans to the land, we worked out exactly how three oceans feed water to the atmosphere, conspiring to deliver deluges of rain similar to what we’re seeing now.
Big actors delivering rain
The past few months in eastern Australia have been very wet, including the rainiest November on record.
Then in February, heavy rain fell on already saturated catchments. In fact, parts of Australia received more than triple the rain expected at this time of year.
So what’s going on?
In the theatre that is Australia’s rainfall, there are some big actors – the so-called climate oscillations. They’re officially known as:
- El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO): this cycle comprises El Niño and its opposite, La Niña. ENSO involves temperature changes across the tropical Pacific Ocean, affecting weather patterns around the world
- Southern Annular Mode (SAM): the north-south movement of strong westerly winds over the Southern Ocean
- Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD): changes in ocean temperatures and winds across the tropical Indian Ocean.
Like swings in a character’s mood, each climate mode has positive, negative and neutral phases. Each affect Australia’s weather in different ways.
ENSO’s negative phase, La Niña, brings wetter conditions to eastern Australia. The IOD’s negative phase, and SAM’s positive phase, can also bring more rain. (End of quotes).
Anyhow, it is raining again, and a lot of places that have been flooded early in March were being cleaned, when the weather forecast said that there is most likely another flood on the way, this is very upsetting because people don’t know what to do. I believe that this month of March 2022 can go down as one of the wettest months on record.
What I can say here is that, let us hope that this weather pattern does not last long, otherwise there will be permanent changes, which I believe will make our lives harder, because we must learn then, how to adjust to the new climatic changes.
Now, this photo above, shows us just a tiny bit of the flood damage that the incessant rain has done this year. We hope that this does not often in the future. There has been a lot of damage to properties, thousands of people have been evacuated during the flood, and several have lost their lives. Anyhow, this is what I have noted so far this month. Now let us talk about the COVID19.
---------------------
Let us talk about the covid19
This is the end of March 2022, the covid19 continues, a lot of people catch it faster than before, but the authorities are not issuing many restrictions, as they did at the beginning of the pandemic, so, we hope that the covid19 is less dangerous now, because everybody can catch it easily. To understand what is happening will take time, meanwhile we can look at the tables of the sick and dead people, as we did before to make up our own mind, if things are better or worse. So, let us look at what we can find on the internet.
This time let us start with the entire world.
In the world at the end of March 2022, people that have tested positive are about 484 million, and about 6.2 million have died.
In USA 81.659 tested positive, and over one million have died.
In India over 43 million have tested positive, and 521 have died.
In Brazil 30 million tested positive and 521 thousand have died.
Anyhow, I believe that the entire world wishes that this disease disappears, so, we are all praying and hoping we can go back to a normal life during this year. Now let us talk about Australia.
In Australia at the end of March 2022 we have, 4.39 million positive and 5900 deaths.
In Queensland at the end of March 2022 we have 747434 positive, and 727 deaths.
The authorities are talking to us, saying that people that are vaccinated are less likely to die, so, they are saying get vaccinated, but not everybody does.
Anyhow, we are still waiting for the end of the covid19, but some people are not as scared as before, because it is not as deadly as before for some reason. Now let us look at this year budget.
-------------------------
This year Australia budget
Yesterday was Australia budget day, and from what I have heard it is a good budged to keep the Australian economy going. Now, my view is that it is a good budget since most people may get some benefit from it, but this is only my view, now we must wait to see what the experts say, and what the opposition says.
Anyhow, there is a federal election coming up soon, and this budget was made accordingly, so, the government splashed up a bit of cash here and there, whatever they could afford, because there is no money around, since the pandemic made the government spend a lot of money already. I believe that most governments in the world are in the same position. So, this debit is not viewed in a negative way since everybody is in the same boat. Anyhow, next month we will see what the politicians will say to win the election.
Having said that, I conclude this diary for the month of March 2022.
