There is a small dot in North Queensland that only has about 70% chance, what are they doing differently there?

There's also another 70% chance spot around what I assume is Sydney?

Basically every year since 2016 it's been this slow boil. Even knowing it was the new normal, that this, and the associated fires, floods, etc. is going to continue for our lifetimes, it's still surprising to see it year on year.

If it's anything like the rest of Australia, they'll probably be like 500k for a small patch of ice.

Ice? You’ll be lucky if it’s slightly damp.

12 months ago we had 2m of snow on the top of Mt Wellington in Hobart, today it's meant to be 17°, I know temperature fluctuates but we haven't even seen cold yet this far south

Cool cool cool … or maybe warm warm warm is more appropriate 😔
