Australia has had a lot of issues with fires and then floods. I hope he and his family are OK.

Key Climate Whiplash Events (Dec 2025 – Feb 2026)

• Victoria – A week after catastrophic fire weather warnings, communities along the Great Ocean Road saw cars washed out to sea in flash floods, before extreme heat returned 10 days later.
• Western Australia – the Eyre Highway – Perth’s supply route to eastern states – closed due to fires in 45°C heat, only to be cut off again two days later by floodwaters.
• South Australia – Marree, near Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, recorded five consecutive days above 48°C, including a new record high of 49.8°C in January. Just over a week later, a two-day rain event dumped 10 times the town’s normal February monthly rainfall, followed a fortnight later by eight consecutive days of rain that cut all roads into the town.
• Northern Territory – Alice Springs recorded more than 30 summer days above 40°C (almost twice its average of 17), before intense rainfall triggered dangerous flash flooding on February 12.
• Tasmania – Strong winds fanned almost 30 bushfires on December 4, destroying 19 homes on the east coast, with Hobart recording its windiest summer day (98kmh). Three weeks later, daily snow fell between December 23 and 26.

He has disappeared from the forum before, but I confess, this feels different to me. We have no way of contacting him or trying to track him down.

In the past, he has simply reappeared and started posting again, often after months.

I noticed his absence last week and the last post of his that I could find sounded like he wasn't in a good place. He finished off saying he couldn't cope any more...
He has posted similar sentiments in the past so let's hope he reappears soon.
