    Poor Watso doesnt realise that the day before the deluge Perth was sweltering in the high 30s. He also doesn’t realise that extreme heat in coastal areas generates huge evaporation and given the aid of a cyclone further North we have the spectacle of massive rainfall in the middle of a summer heatwave. Still Watso possibly didn’t notice the heat because playing pokies at the Crown Casino is in air-conditioned comfort.

    Just a reminder for Watso hotter weather on coastal areas results in more ocean evaporation which is then dumped as uncharacteristic rainfall on coastal plains. Watso trying too hard to be a contrarian on global warming. Makes the deniers look a tad silly given the facts that overall the planet has been on a long term warming trajectory.

    Ah but Watso is Watso. Probably thinks he can beat the pokies too.
