Well - how about that?

Less than 3 weeks till summer and we have snow.

Where's all the global warming that Monk was trying to scare us with?

Melbourne and Hobart are cold and wet.
Monk has a tropical dog - the poor thing.

Are you sure?

New South Wales' central west this morning woke to a dusting of snow — the first of 2018 — and while the white stuff seldom falls in Sydney, it has happened once before.

As the Harbour City shivered through its first taste of the cold weather last night and this morning, newspaper clippings from more than 180 years ago reveal today is, well, nothing.

Sunny Sydney and the sands of Bondi Beach have, in fact, once — and only once — been covered in snow.

During the "icy winter" of 1836, the thousands of convicts held in Hyde Park — and the British settlers in the then 48-year-old colonial outpost called Sydney — awoke to snow "nearly an inch deep" on June 28.

Well talking about Berkley Earth, which is not scientific and expecting quality from it, is itself unscientific.

You see a GLOBAL temperature needs input from around the GLOBE. Now we know Sea Surface temperatures, prior to 2004, Argo buoys were "mostly made up", according to Phil Jones, formerly of CRU Anglia.

now Berkley Earth have this to say -

"  This file contains a detailed summary of the changes in Earth's global average surface temperature estimated by combining the new high-resolution Berkeley Earth land-surface temperature field with a reinterpolated version of the HadSST4 ocean temperature field. "

monthly.txt[/url]

And BEST Berkley Earth says "The Berkeley Earth project provides a set of historical temperature products consisting of estimates of the monthly mean of average, maximum and minimum surface air temperature anomaly over land (Rohde et al., 2013a,b), as well as a pair of blended land-ocean products (Cowtan et al., 2015, supporting information) which provide near global coverage by combining land air temperatures with the HadSST3 sea surface temperature reconstruction (Kennedy et al., 2011a,b)."

So estimates of anomalies and averages. What could possibly go wrong?

Also NH stations have dropped from 3000 in 1950 to about 2000 today. SH stations have only dropped from 800 max to 600.

Bobby still doesn't know the difference between weather and climate.

Oh dear   

Monk's pot plants are going to die in the cold.
Maybe he'll have to pay Tappy a visit too like Marla does.

The width of each data point is the same. Therefore, the peak is the same, ONE Data point.

But Monk lives too close to Antarctica.
he lives in the roaring 40s - he is at -43 degrees latitude -
the vast circumpolar currents and winds that encircle the world in the Southern ocean.
Nowhere else in the world comes close to the harsh climate of the roaring 40s.
He lives there with his tropical dog called Socks.
