Category 2 Tropical Cyclone #Alfred swirls near the Queensland-NSW border coast, posing a rare and potentially historic threat.
Damaging winds, heavy rain, and dangerous surf are developing. As Alfred nears landfall, flash flooding, and coastal inundation are likely from Thursday into Friday.

We added global temperature anomaly charts *coloured by El Nino / La Nina periods*.
Today's "cool" years are warmer than "warm" years of the past.
