1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: This is gem Nation with jonesy.

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Rain rain. When will it stop? We're hearing that maybe

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: not in the new future. Very lest We've got rain

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: predicted until Monday. What's going on? We thought we talked

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: to the senior meteorologist from the Bureau of Meteorology, Jackson Brown. Hello, Jackson,

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: how are you good?

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: Thank you? How are you?

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: He's you're the senior bomb. You're the senior big bomb.

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: You are the.

10
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: Bomb words not to use at an airport.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: Yes, actually that is very true. So what's going on?

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we know we're in Lunnina, but look at

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: the Yarras in New South Wales. In northern New South

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Wales has had actually I can't even see here. It's

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: had one hundred and twenty days of rain.

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it's yes, it's been quite a wet season. We've

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: just got that Nina water temperature pattern just sitting off

18
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: the east coast of Australia. So if we have any

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: weather system, they've just got more energy to tap in essentially,

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: and so with more energy, they've got more rainfall that's

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: associated with them. So of notes, I guess Sydney yesterday

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: at the airport has reached fifteen hundred millimeters for the year,

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: so it's the fastest time that one and a half

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: meters has been recorded, beat the old record by more

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: than one month.

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: It's a record, you know what, We've had something like

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: ninety days of rain.

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's certainly dialing up there. There are some better

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: conditions on the horizon, so just for today and tomorrow,

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: looking at you know, around a fifteen to eight milimeter

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: mark for Tuesday and Wednesday, and then it's really just

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: dropping off more just very isolated nuisance showers from Thursday.

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: As there's the high pressure system which has been driving

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: a lot of US moistare onto the coast, it sort

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: of wanes and takes off to enz and usually we

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: don't get wet winters.

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: Will we have a wet winter?

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: Look, there are a few hint in the climate system

39
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: at the moment, so the Indian Ocean is really quite

40
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: warm for this time of year, so we'll see a

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: lot more cloudband activity, so stuff that comes down from

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: the northwest as well as you've got that waning influence

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: of La Nina just off the waters of Sydney, So

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: both of those will collude to make it a wet

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: winter and also quite a warm winter was compared with

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: most winters.

47
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: So when do you think we'll see the end of

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: the rain. I keep thinking that we're about to go

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: into summer because I feel like I miss summer. When

50
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: are we going to see the end of the rain?

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: Look in the very short term for Sydney, it will

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: cease from largely tomorrow night. However, there are areas along

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: that New South Wales coast, especially up in the northeast,

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: which we'll see rainfall continue in fairly good amounts till Friday.

55
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: But yes, I guess you know you're looking further afield,

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: a bit more out of the weather space and into

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: the climate space. We're looking at that wet winter, wet

58
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: warm stuff. I've stocked up on my exit mold, so

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: everything's okay.

60
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Oh I'm spraying in my pants. Thank you, Jackson, Jackson,

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: thank you. There's no great news in there, but thank you.

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: But it's not too bad. A lovely morning. Thank you,

63
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: very is Senior meteorologists Jackson Brown
