Really? I don’t have any evidence but it felt colder than normal to me in Brisbane
And, …
Brisbane weather: Hottest July on record, driest month in 4 years for QLD

BRISBANE has enjoyed its warmest July on record, while the rest of Queensland had its driest July in four years.
With the wonderful winter weather in the state’s capital daily high temperatures remained above 20C for the entire month, with an average maximum temperature of 23.2C.
The Bureau of Meteorology’s Monthly Climate Summary, released yesterday, said this was Brisbane’s warmest July on record, and it was the fourth-warmest across the rest of the state.
The warm weather coincided with a dry July, with statewide rainfall more than 70 per cent below the monthly average — the driest July since 2014.
Places in western Queensland such as Longreach (18.6mm), Camooweal (5.4mm) and Boulia (9.8mm) had their driest July ever.
Kowanyama Airport recorded the state’s hottest July day for this year, when the mercury reached 34.8C on July 17.

Meanwhile, Oakey recorded the coldest night of the month, when the temperature dropped down to -6.3C on July 14.
The fine and sunny weather is expected to continue for the rest of the week with the weather bureau forecasting a top of 27C for Brisbane on Saturday and 28C in Townsville.
BoM meteorologist Michael Knepp said the state was in for a nice and warm weekend.
“It’ll be fine and sunny across the state this weekend,” he said.
“As we transition to August, we will see temperatures warming up. We are expecting it to be warm in August.
“Temperatures will be a little bit above average, especially on Sunday, but definitely nothing record breaking.”
The warm, dry weather was likely to continue for the next few months, according to the weather bureau’s Climate Outlook.
August days were forecast to be warmer than Queensland’s average monthly maximum temperature of 25C.
BoM said the next few months would see little reprieve from the dry, warm weather.
“These forecast warmer and drier conditions suggest that much of eastern and southern mainland Australia are less likely to see widespread respite in the coming season from current dry conditions,” they said.

saw a car in glenroy almost not round about the round about and straight into a house.
people in shitbox micras that don’t take care of their car/tyres/slow down in poor conditions should have to pay more in rego and insurance.

It’s really amazing pancake parlour is still a thing. So they still only have the same 10 or so items you can order? And then the weird ■■■■ like potatoes and steak in a pancake? Weird joint
Let’s face it, if it were socially acceptable to eat a bowl of maple syrup with a spoon, nobody would ever bother with pancakes in the first place.
