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

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?

It does, but it can also prevent circulation all together.

The drought here blows. Wish it would break in earnest.


Also: Fuck the cities for having such massive water requirements and screwing over people who live in the rural areas.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

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.

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.

I just checked .. they give us one day a week to water our lawns now. It has to be after dusk or before dawn. Like I said it pretty much doesn't matter now the the rains are here. We are actually getting flood warnings almost once a week. What we need is a little everyday for a long time. We get the torrential type now... that doesn't necessarily raise the water table.

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.


Just sucks for all the farmers out there. Maybe we should plant more trees.

Oh right. At current, we're not allowed to water lawns.

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.

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.

We need to stop fucking getting rid of all the trees, that's what's making the place so saline.

Seriously, I've been out west and there are places where you can barely see a living thing in sight, just bare ground and salt. Lots and lots of salt.

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)

They just started letting us water.. it's kind of funny considering our daily weather conditions.

I took this about a month ago..

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

Also: Rural areas use a different water supply to the cities.

You live in London, you should love the rain.

Actually we've also had hosepipe bans here too, yup. Couldn't water the car or the lawn or any of that sort of stuff. Yeah, it was a total nightmare. I barely survived that.

For fuck sake who gives a shit about your lawn and your plants and cars. - That's not a fucking drought.

And what has me experiencing a drought got to do with anything. You cocks are complaining about watering plants and washing cars. So far I don't think I've seen anything else in terms of restrictions and bad things about your "drought"
