Moved Thread La Nina is coming.

[Free Agent]

What a horrible year it's been and looks like the year from hell has another surprise coming its way in few weeks.
Not sure what impact this will have on rest of the AFL season and Finals and hub location but gonna be some wild weather happening and AFL will be in the middle of it.

Looks like Australia is set for a once every 5 year weather event called La Nina with a 70% predicted chance it will happen bringing flash flooding, cyclones and strong winds and Mosqitos disease all happening over next few weeks. Most likely AFL Grand Final will be in the middle of it given it's location and timing.

Aussies to brace for wild weather risks

Wild weather, floods, monster cyclones and mosquito-borne viruses could be heading Australia’s way after a summer of bushfires and the COVID-19 year from hell.

Surely we can't be any worse in a cyclone than we are in steady rain.

 

[Atomboy]

Everyone is saying "La Nina this" and "La Nina that". But no one is saying "Worship this" and "Jericho that".

 

[rumply]

more scare mongering, as if covid isn't enough.

La Niña isn't scary. Just means more rain.

 

[Yidaki]

La Nina doesn't "attack" countries. It's not "coming". lol

It's simply a change in water temperatures where along the west coast of South America the surface ocean temperature goes from warm to cold. This change is then reciprocated in the north east of Australia where the surface ocean temperature changes from cool to warm. Warm water means more uprising of moist air which potentially means more cyclones and rain. Key word "potentially".

Tone down the drama OP. La Nina is a part of the natural cycles that Earth goes through. Smh. You may as well write for the daily mail.

Remember when weather used to be just an occurrence rather than, "as if we didn't have enough to deal with in this year from hell"? Yeah, me too.

 

[Corrupt_]

incredible, 30% more rainfall over summer that happens every few years.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Hearing there will be a magnetic pole reversal in the next few days. Snow in Perth is the rumour.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

We were in one 2 years ago. It was a flop.

 

[Yolo Swaggins]

One thing I have learnt since moving to QLD is that we can get a years worth of Melbourne rain here in 24hours

 

[compact72]

might as well have the Grand Final in a Brothel if its gonna be a Wet one.

Silly man. That's what the boys were doing at the strippers at 3AM

Checking out the venue before the big dance *no pun intended*

They don’t even have cyclones in SEQ ya dingus

 

[Sherrinator]

Looking forward to it.
Just imagine Ch7 on Grand Final Day.

BT: WOWEE just look at that tropical cyclone Bruce. Have you EVER seen anything like it Bruce?

Dwayne Russell: Its dangerous out there. Hope they have a safe word.

Bruce: BT <pause> You just get the feeling kicking with the wind will be important today don't you?

Darcy: I think this Cat 4 cyclone is just great for the competition and for footy fans in general.

Richo: I think this weather definitely suits Richmond. You'd think they'd be favourites now.

Wayne Carey: it takes me back to the day out at Waverley when I played in a cyclone.... I might have kicked 6...

Daisy: I think this weather MIGHT have an effect on the scoring today, don't you think Hodgey?

Shut up, Daisy

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

I can't believe the AFL is stupid enough to play a GF in a cyclone area such as Brisbane, like they have a cyclone what? once every 30-40 years, 50?

Should have played the game in the Northern Hemisphere, don't have cyclones there.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Should have played the game in the Northern Hemisphere, don't have cyclones there.

1/2 a game in the south and 1/2 in the north, that makes it fair, the wind goes the opposite way.

 

[PowerForGood]

Let's be serious for a second.

If we were seriously truly worried about the weather on grand final day, do you think the AFL would consider EVER having it in Melbourne ever again?

 

[PowerForGood]

Shut up, Daisy

That's Hodge. Who throws in a comments about having played with Cyril. And Bruce sighs and throws to a unscheduled commercial break.

 

[Hawk Dork]

One thing I have learnt since moving to QLD is that we can get a years worth of Melbourne rain here in 24hours

And when you get 20 mm in Melbourne it floods everything yet 100 mm in Qld is just a bit of heavy rain

La Nina makes men wet outside.

 

[HairyO]

El Nino is the enemy.

We have always been at war with La Nina.

 

[raskolnikov]

Loved how salty West Aussies were that we got the GF.

 

[tangolikelama]

Garden has gone gangbusters this spring.

 

[Cash is King]

8.8mm for November so far and very little on the horizon for Melbourne. Not looking good.

 

[Cuzz09]

Feels overly dry in Adelaide too.

No rain in the next 7 days either. not even summer yet
