Wind shear is the difference between a tropical depression and a hurricane. It keeps it from organizing.

It does, but it can also prevent circulation all together.Spark wrote:
Yeah, it picks up a fair bit during El Nino years. My mistake.
I always thought of windshear as having a "diluting" effect on the power of a hurricane?
We've been in a two year drought.. No watering no washing your cars (except commercially). We are getting our summer storms now so it pretty much doesn't matter.Flecco wrote:
The drought here blows. Wish it would break in earnest.

Same, pretty much - although what are your restrictions on watering? No watering of outdoor plants full stop save for recylced water? Because that would be the equivalent of our Stage4/5, which is one grade up from where we are now.Kmarion wrote:

Doesn't matter to me really. I live in the NT m8, monsoonal wet season and a bore down to a large aquifer means we have all the water we need.Kmarion wrote:

No sprinkler or other irrigation system may be used.
Watering of lawns not permitted.
A hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, a bucket or a watering can may be used to water plants between 7am and 10am and between 7pm and 10pm on alternate days as per the “odds and evens” system.
At all times gardens may only be watered without causing pooling or runoff.
We need to stop fucking getting rid of all the trees, that's what's making the place so saline.Flecco wrote:

Just sucks for all the farmers out there. Maybe we should plant more trees.
Probably not... here the 'stages' vary from state to state and even occasionally city to city. And plus the stages themselves changed - most places used to have 5 stages, now there are 4 'temporary stages' (the real stages) and a permanent stage (which is legally binding at all times, whether there's drought or not)Kmarion wrote:
Florida has a lot of limestone and it makes for a lot of standing water.. which is of course sent back up into the atmosphere. We are in Phase IV here, but I don't know if that is an international scale.
Yes, I thought it unlikely. Mostly because it would make sense..lol.Spark wrote:

Fuck Queensland for taking all the water out of the rivers before they get to NSW and Victoria...Flecco wrote:
