A few facts

[Don White]

1. According to the Copernicus Climate Change Service, Earth’s atmosphere held more water vapour this past August than in any other month on record.

Data from the agency shows moisture levels reached 27.35 kilograms per square metre.

That broke the previous record set in July 2024. This is a global climate phenomenon also known as El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), or El Niño for short.

While a small numerical bump might sound minor, scientists say it represents a massive shift in atmospheric water.

Professor Jason Evans from the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre calculated that the extra moisture equals roughly 20 trillion litres.

2. Out of the blue Noraj Head  reached 34.2 before the cool change today.  That is the highest September temp there is the 31 years they have been reporting.
