Kiandra, New South Wales[edit]

Hello Fred,

On 2019-01-09 23:36 Universal Standard Time, you edited the article for Kiandra, New South Wales to remove all mention of it having a humid continental climate. As I'm sure you know, a humid continental climate must have at least 4 months with average temperatures above 10 °C and at least one month with an average temperature below 0 °C. For Kiandra according to the data provided, December, January, February, and March all have average temperatures above 10 °C, and July has an average temperature below 0 °C. High-resolution climate maps based on tens of thousands of weather stations like this one published in a peer-reviewed climatological journal and hosted by Nature reveal patches with a humid continental climate in the Australian Alps, including the Kiandra area. So I wonder, what justifies not putting Kiandra in the humid continental (Dfb) category, given the dataset used?

Later, on 2019-02-08 16:06 Universal Standard Time, you edited it again, leaving a rather rude comment in the process. It is also flawed from a factual perspective. For one thing, the standard, World Meteorological Organization period for climate averages is 30 years. One reason for this is that the use of 100 years of records can be flawed because of climate change over that period. For instance, both Reggane, Algeria and Shahdad, Iran appear to have higher July averages than Furnace Creek, at 39.8 °C and 40.1 °C respectively in comparison to 39 °C. However, while the averages for Furnace Creek are for 1911-present and therefore reduce the apparent impact of climate change, those for Reggane and Shahdad are much less substantial, for 2005-2015 and 2003-2010, respectively, intervals that maximize the influence of climate change. Over those periods, Furnace Creek recorded a July average of 40.8 °C and 40.2 °C, respectively, so Furnace Creek is indeed still probably the hotter location. With Kiandra, although the dataset used (as well as the aforementioned 1980-2010 extrapolation) supports Kiandra having a humid continental climate, it may soon transition into having a temperate highland (Cfb) climate. Indeed, if we could somehow "differentiate" the climate of an area without using averages, it may have already done so. Given that its March mean is 10.6 °C as alluded to by Baba Wethu, it may have been subalpine/subantarctic (Dfc) by the time of the first settlers in 1859, during the twilight of the Little Ice Age.

Also, while it may not comply with the Wikipedia MOS, "10°C" is used in some publications, for instance those following the Chicago MOS. And what's this about 15-year SMHI records?

I am also rather confused on why your dream climate includes summer record lows that are only rivaled in non-glaciated areas by Bodie, California and certain regions of coastal Antarctica, but that's beside the point. Grant Exploit (talk) 16:53, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021[edit]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! 220 of ^ßorg 14:31, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your summary usage is very low. See here. 220 of ^ßorg 14:34, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Great Dividing Foehn[edit]

Hello Frey. I just wanted to say that your contributions are welcomed on Southeast Australian foehn. However, sometimes I may have to omit superfluous content to keep the article navigable and convenient for the reader. I replaced Parkes with Echuca VIC, because the bracketed examples already contained enough NSW towns. ~ Qumarchi (talk) 09:15, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Bendigo[edit]

Hi Frey Lockyer, I have recently joined WikiProject Bendigo and I am currently recruiting more editors to join also. I can see that you are a regular editor to Victorian-related articles, so I was wondering whether you might be interested in joining the project, as there are still a number of Bendigo articles that need improvement. Please let me know what you think. All the best, Lotsw73 (talk) 03:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yep not a problem Frey Lockyer (talk) 10:32, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's great news! If you could please add your name to our list of participants, have a look at the to-do list (it is rather generalised at this stage, but I'm working on adding some more specific goals), and begin editing on Bendigo subjects within your field of knowledge, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lotsw73 (talk) 12:39, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
