What would you do?

About the only rules you need to know are for self survival, when seated around the campfire if a female no matter how innocent she looks comes over to whisper in your ear...... run it will be Dottie setting you up big time and no matter which answer you give to the question you will loose On the forum, avoid religion in all its forms, gentle on the politics, no attacking the person and be discrete about how you challenge what they have to say....and no language you wouldn't use in front of your grandchildren should about covers it

The talk about the temp over here must have set something off, when it reached 50*C in the workshop we went home and sat in front of the air con and watched the cricket on the TV. Even after the sun went down and it was dark time the open area back patio was still 42*C, so it was a quick run to the beer fridge and then back inside

Not quite as hot today, 1:30pm and 46*C and seems to have levelled off now a bit of cloud cover has arrived. They say there could be a cool change later, I wonder what they consider cool

from the look of the map, another monsoon Waaaaaay too far south is about to upgrade its solar system in downtown Mannum before turning into a drizzling couple of days on my solar panels. Never used to get these cyclone tails down here, now a couple each year........

Why do you think you are seeing cyclone tails?

[grizzzman]

Terry how much power do you loose using SSRs? You go through a lot of trouble cooling the units, is due to them being more reliable? Are they less likely to stick "on"?
Thanks

Why do you think you are seeing cyclone tails?

The northern (tropical) parts of Australia get annual monsoon action which can lead to cyclones. We haven't really had one yet this season, just a couple of serious depressions which I enthusiastically expanded to call cyclones, my bad If you watch here a few days you may see one develop.
http://www.bom.gov.au/products/national ... loop.shtml you might see a split line roughly half way up the continent -depending on the season- where the northern weather is headed west and the southern weather is headed east.
As a classic cyclone depression spiral develops and hits landfall around the kimberley (north-west) region, its "tail" has been dropping into the southern, easterly flow instead of keeping to itself up north. This tail then cools our weather significantly from Adelaide to the eastern coast. I don't recall this happening much before 5 years ago.
Significant not only for the wetter summers we have had. Typically the north and south hemispheres are a bit less likely to mix over land.
Its why we have the worlds cleanest air in Tasmania and you can smell Fukashima in the USA.

All of my life Adelaide and Melbourne have received January or February rains from cyclone tails - most years.
