This is the Friends of History Debating Society.

I'm John Bachelor, to Australia, to Jeremy Zakis of New South Wales, Sydney, to observe

first the climate in this unusual year of the Third La Nina in a row, and the climate

in Australia, the Southern Hemisphere.

Peculiarly resembles the climate in the North Hemisphere, especially in California

these last weeks, and the question of La Nina is it influencing all the weather systems

in this summertime for Jeremy, wintertime for John?

Jeremy, I read from the reporting that La Nina is not finished with Australia.

In other words, you might not be interested in La Nina, but La Nina is interested in

you.

So let's start with your climate right now.

It should be a Barbie on the beach in about 30-35 degrees centigrade.

What are you experiencing today?

Good day to you, Jeremy.

You know, John, well, unfortunately, there's no Barbies inside and I guess the beach is

really a distant hope at this point because we're getting mild temperatures.

And when I say mild, mild in Australia means temperatures around about 20-25 degrees Celsius.

So, you know, that's really 60-70 Fahrenheit.

So it's not cold cold, but it's much cooler than what we expect.

And what we expect in summertime is around 30 degrees Celsius, up to 40 degrees Celsius.

So you know, you're talking 80s up to above 100 Fahrenheit there.

And that's really how cute to go out to the beach.
