The animation below shows the sun rising over a tropical low located in the Timor Sea to the […]

Lowest energy demand of the summer as humidity plunges

Cool, dry air replaced uncomfortable heat and humidity on the weekend, causing parts of the NEM to see the lowest summer demand on record.  After a prolonged period of heat and humidity caused by a blocking high pressure system in the Tasman Sea, a strong cold front with a polar airmass finally swept across southeastern […]

Australia’s mining hub powers ahead after Zelia

Destructive winds, the heaviest rain in decades forced major port, rail, and mining operations to shut down in the Pilbara, though many have resumed despite ongoing major flooding and highway closures.  Severe Tropical Cyclone Zelia made landfall as a category four system near the De Grey River mouth last Friday afternoon.
