While We Were Sleeping

Way back in Easter...yeah, a whole two weeks ago...the East Coast was lumbering under a solid flat spell replete with persistent onshore winds. To make matters worse WA, SA and Vicco especially, were pumping during the five day break. Rather than hit the highway south or west, Pete Crichton jetted to Fiji and scored Cloudbreak in all its thunderous glory.

OK, it's mythbusting time!

Last October various Australian weather forecasters predicted that there would be 15 tropical cyclones in our waters during summer. That's five more, or an increase of 50%, than an average year. Their predictions were based upon the formation of the la nina weather phenomena that affected eastern Australia during the summer. During la nina years warmer than average water pools off the east coast of Australia providing conditions conducive to tropical cyclone creation.
