Yea, we get it worse. Poor Phillipines always seem to get hit hard. It was only the worst from coming in behind Florida.

I took off from Darwin airport on a commercial flight during in a cat 4 storm so not sure how a cat 4 is such a problem.
I asked are we flying in this and they said Yes, we only stop when it is a Cat 5
The media today is so over the top, my wife and I have been saying for the past 5 years that we now live in the age of superlativesYea, we get it worse. Poor Phillipines always seem to get hit hard. It was only the worst from coming in behind Florida.
I landed in Hong Kong on the tail end of a typhoon (after circling near Manila for 2 hours.). Much scarier landingI am surprised that a Cat 4 Huricane would be the worst ever, most places experience cat 5 every now and then

This is actually true. They keep using "Rain bomb" over nsw and its generally a light rain. It was just as bad if not worse in the 80s at points.The media today is so over the top, my wife and I have been saying for the past 5 years that we now live in the age of superlatives
Agreed it's increasing but note the chart isn't zero scaled.

From the lowest to the highest it's about a 4% increase. Not zero, but I reckon a good portion of people who see that chart won't notice that the scale runs from 2.06 to 2.14 with the highest reading a bit above that.
Terrible. I recommend that everyone watch it. The sudden step change in ocean temperatures that has occured over the last 18 months is the most worrying recent event.Hard to watch
And they say that every yearDon't really rate the BOM forecasters but interesting to see how it pans out.
Australia facing one of the hottest summers on record, according to BOM prediction
Australia is facing one of the hottest summers on record according to the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) weather modelling, which tips well-above-average temperatures across the country.
The forecast for a scorching summer is largely due to ongoing high ocean temperatures surrounding Australia, a persistent feature that has plagued most of the globe since early last year.
The warm seas will not only raise air temperatures but also boost atmospheric moisture levels, swinging the odds to favour frequent storm outbreaks and above-average rain.
Our simmering oceans could also lead to the most active cyclone season in years, with the BOM expecting around 11 named storms in the Australian region, including an increased risk of severe (category three or above) systems.
BOM predicts one of the hottest summers on record with thunderstorms, heatwaves and severe cyclones

Keep breaking the records.And they say that every year
Gotta keep the fear up for that funding to come inKeep breaking the records.
You think that BOM are lying?Gotta keep the fear up for that funding to come in
