This is the French Vista Debating Society.

I'm John Bachelors.

To Jeremy Zakis in New South Wales, it is springtime.

And in springtime you can expect conditions to improve.

However, Australia had a very mild winter to the point that winter wasn't really much

present.

The debate for some time has been El Nino, not yet.

Indian dipole, positive, negative, not yet.

However, this last week seems to be a determinative for everybody but the Bureau of Meteorology.

The extremely conservative, very reluctant, will figure it out in a hundred years, Met Office

of Australia.

Jeremy, I like your Met people.

They don't want to get ahead.

Their weather predictors post-partum.

After the weather has birthed itself, then they'll talk about it.

So right now, it appears that you are birthing a very warm spring.

What are the conditions now in Sydney?

Whatever they've been this last week.

Good evening to you, Jeremy.

You know, John, yes, the conditions are absolutely fabulous as they're moving into spring

now.

And when I say fabulous, it's warmer than normal.
