Floods on one end, drought on the other. Is this Australia's climate future?

As towns flood on one end of Australia, large areas further south are experiencing their worst drought on record. The people in these regions are preparing for life in a future climate. Above the rolling hills of Victoria's Central Highlands, grey clouds gather. But once again, they will fail to bring the substantial rain the region so desperately needs. Normally green paddocks have been replaced by dirt and dust.
How much rain has NSW had and how did it lead to unprecedented flooding?

2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Tyne Logan |Alex Lim

Parts of New South Wales are currently facing some of their worst floods in living memory, as heavy rain — in the order of half a metre over four days — falls across the region. Houses and shops are flooded, cars submerged and river levels have swollen to record levels. You'd be forgiven for thinking this is all about the rainfall. It's crucial, of course. But it's not the only thing that matters.
The Millennium Drought would forever change Australia's relationship to water

3 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Tyne Logan

Some kids had never seen a puddle until the Millennium Drought broke. The decade-long dry spell sweeping Australia delivered more than cracked earth, it changed our relationship with water. For most Australians it's second nature to turn the tap off when you're brushing your teeth, or to see two buttons on the toilet — one half, and one full. But it wasn't always like that. Not that long ago, Australians used a lot more water. That was, until a critical weather event saw that change.
Drought in South Australia, Victoria a hint at lasting shift in rainmaking weather patterns

Considering we're not in El Niño, it might be surprising to hear one of the worst droughts on record is crippling multiple states. Adelaide has only received around 300mm of rain since February last year — the city's driest 15-month spell since records began in 1839. Similar shortfalls are extending across the whole of agricultural SA, while severe drought is also impacting most of the western parts of Victoria and Tasmania.
Enduring obsession with the Great Barrier reef captured in dazzling historic illustrations

As long as people have been visiting the Great Barrier Reef, they've been obsessed with it. Under the shimmering turquoise waters of Australia's east coast is a labyrinth of alien-like formations pulsing with life. Just like the tentacles of its polyps, the Great Barrier Reef has lured humans into its realms for centuries.
BOM Easter weather forecast brings cyclone, big swells and temperature whiplash

1 month ago | abc.net.au | Tyne Logan

Australia's weather will be firing on all cylinders this Easter long weekend, with a cyclone in the north, powerful swell in the east and a swing from hot to cool in the south. The good news is, much of the country will have at least some "really nice" weather during the break, according to Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Angus Hines. So, let's take a look at what's in store across the country from Friday to Monday.
Rain forecast accuracy in the spotlight as Queensland reels from more flooding

2 months ago | abc.net.au | Tyne Logan

Are extreme rainfall forecasts getting worse? As Queensland again reels after devastating rain and flooding, this time in the outback, the conversation has once again turned to whether or not our forecasts are up to scratch. People in the region say they were expecting a decent amount of rain. But not nearly as much as what ended up happening, with falls equivalent to two years' worth of rain falling on some areas. Just a few weeks ago, Cyclone Alfred triggered a similar situation in Hervey Bay.
AI predicted Cyclone Alfred's path and could be the future of forecasting

2 months ago | abc.net.au | Tom Saunders |Tyne Logan

A week before Tropical Cyclone Alfred was nearing the east coast of Australia, most forecasts were favouring a path either well offshore or near the central Queensland coast. There was a curious anomaly though: an AI prediction from Google's DeepMind, called Graphcast, was predicting the centre of Alfred would be just 200 kilometres off the coast of Brisbane.
