Is it unusual to have this sort of heat in the first week of September?

No, not at all.

No, it's just one of those ones where the cycles, where we are in the cycles and sometimes a little bit below average, but sometimes a bit more.

And certainly at the beginning of the month with surprises because we're acclimatized to the winter.

That's the big factor also is that we've been acclimatized to some shifts in cool weather.

Next thing, bang,

What about the rest of September and into October before we get to the summer?

Well, October's probably going to be above average in relation to temperatures because it's going to be a dry month.

But are you treated as a pariah by the forecasting business in Australia or do they just accept that... you're right more often than they are.

Well, that's true.

I mean, like, you have to have that reputation in relation to accuracy.

So you have to have above average accuracy and people will support you.

At the same time, a lot of people scoff at it because you're not within the realms of climate change, et cetera, et cetera.

But, you know, you just keep soldering away.

That's what I do.

Does that accord with La Nina or El Nino? I think we've spoken about it before, but where do you fall on the observations of those two characters?

Yes, and for listeners who don't know, you do your weather forecasting based on your sunspot activity, do you not?

That's right, sunspot, solar flares.

So when the sun is active, we get quite intense and extreme weather conditions.

And then when the sun goes into a dormant stage and where there's low sunspot activity, we get drought conditions.

And we're certainly seeing that in the last two to three years.

We're going through a sunspot maximum whereby we get increased rainfall, increased hurricanes, typhoons, et cetera, et cetera, which there's a lot on the way for the balance of the year.

And when the sun increases or intensifies, we get extreme weather and that's what happens.

We

In

this way, we utilize stem cells from a patient.

And over the past, let's say, 20 years, we came up with a new technology that we call a mini heart.

Now, this mini heart contains cells from a patient, and in this way do not require any immunosuppression similar to a heart transplant.

Then we take this technology to another level, and we 3D printed the mini heart similar to Lego bricks.

Now, this is a very multidisciplinary effort across the Heart Research Institute and the University of Technology Sydney.

So how many years has that taken to perfect? And I'm assuming, is it available now or still in development?

Well, we are taking any possible step to make sure it's safe before it's provided to the clinic.

I mean, that is unseasonal for June, isn't it?

Well, certainly it's like a blanket over the top of New South Wales.

So when that blanket's over the top, the heat stays in.

So I believe that June, the temperature will be above average, but there will be some snippets when the troughs move through.

After the troughs move through, you'll get that cold westerly wind on its way.

So that'll make the temperatures drop.

So for the time being, it'll be above average.

Are we in for a hot one, which would be allegedly on the back of an El Nino, wouldn't it?

Where do you sit on the El Nino, La Nina spectrum?

i don't sit there at all i use sunspot activity and that's the way the forecasting weather should be done and that's the only way you can forecast the weather because the sun changes within a 24 to 48 hour period and then we'll get inundated with solar activity and we get extreme weather conditions we went back we're going back to 2024 we're supposed to be a super el nino for the spring and look what happened there It was a dud, and they're talking about another El Nino in relation to the winter period ahead and months ahead, and I'm completely the opposite, and look what's already turning up.

So I question that.

Okay.

What do you see for winter temperatures around the place?

Well, I believe it'll be a mixed bag, particularly in New South Wales.

I mean, with this rainfall, we'll probably have above average temperatures and minimum temperatures because there'll be a blanket over the top of the New South Wales holding the heat in.

But then once those troughs do move, you will get some cold snippets.

Where do you sit on the El Nino, La Nina spectrum?
