Izikhukula ezinkulu ziye zagubungela iindawo ezisemantla eQueensland - kunye nemvula enamandla ephazamisa iinzame zokukhupha indawo yokuhlala ehlaselwe kukunyuka kwamanzi. Imozulu embi eqhutywa sisitshingitshane setropikhi iJasper ilahle imvula exabisa unyaka kwezinye iindawo. Imifanekiso ibonisa iinqwelomoya zixinge kumgaqo weenqwelomoya waseCairns, kunye nengwenya eyi-2.8m ebanjwe kumanzi ezikhukula e-Ingham. Abasemagunyeni bakuyekile ukufuduswa kwabahlali baseWujal Wujal abangama-300 ngenxa yeemeko ezimbi. Akukho kufa kwabantu okanye abantu abalahlekileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Nangona kunjalo, abasemagunyeni balindele ukuba izikhukhula zibe zezona zirekhodiweyo kurhulumente, kwaye imvula enamandla kulindeleke ukuba iqhubeke ezinye iiyure ezingama-24. Amakhulu-khulu abantu baye bahlangulwa – amakhaya amaninzi ethe saa, umbane kunye neendlela zivaliwe kwaye amanzi okusela akhuselekileyo ephela. Isixeko saseCairns sifumene imvula engaphaya kwe-2m (7ft) ukusukela oko kwaqala umsitho wemozulu. Isikhululo seenqwelomoya saso savalwa emva kokuba iinqwelomoya zibanjelwe zizikhukula kumgaqo weenqwelomoya, nangona abasemagunyeni bathi amanzi sele esukile. Inkulumbuso yaseQueensland, uSteven Miles, yaxelela iZiko loSasazo laseOstreliya (ABC) ukuba le ntlekele yemvelo “yeyona nto imbi kakhulu endiyikhumbulayo. Imephu ye-BBC ibonisa inani elipheleleyo lemvula efunyenwe enyakatho ye-Queensland kwiveki ukuya kwi-18 kaDisemba, kunye nokuphakama kwe-400mm efunyenwe malunga neCairns kunye ne-Wujal Wujal Imvula iphazamisa ukufuduka Kwidolophu ekude yaseWujal Wujal, malunga ne-175km (iikhilomitha ezili-110) emantla eCairns, abantu abalithoba kubandakanywa neqela elingenakukwazi ukufikelela esibhedlele kwisibhedlele esingenako bafuduselwe kwenye indawo ngoMvulo, kodwa umnumzana Miles uthe unyanzelekile ukuba arhoxise ukufuduswa kwedolophu ngenxa yemozulu embi ngoLwesibini kusasa ngexesha lasekhaya, utshilo u-ABC, utshilo uSekela-Mkomishinala waseQueensland, uShane Chelepy, uvakalise “amanzi okusela, kunye nogutyulo lwendlela. zivaliwe kwaye asikwazi ukufumana inkxaso emoyeni.” Ababikezeli bathi izandyondyo zemvula ziza kuqhubeka phantse ngoMvulo kwaye zihambelane nomsinga omkhulu, nokwandisa impembelelo kuluntu olusemagqagaleni.Ngelixa imvula kulindeleke ukuba iqalise ukunatha ngoLwesibini, imilambo iseza kundanda kwaye iza kuhlala idumbile kangangeentsuku.Joseph Dietz kuquka iSikhululo seenqwelomoya saseCairns.
Imilambo emininzi kulindeleke ukuba iphule iirekhodi ezibekwe ngexesha lesehlo sezikhukhula ngo-1977. Umlambo i-Daintree, umzekelo, sele ugqithise irekhodi yangaphambili nge-2m, emva kokufumana i-820mm yemvula kwiiyure ezingama-24.
Amagosa karhulumente aqikelela ukuba intlekele iya kudlula i-A$1bn (i-529 yezigidi zeedola; i-670 yezigidi zeedola).
IMpuma yeOstreliya ibethwe zizikhukula rhoqo kwiminyaka yakutshanje kwaye ilizwe ngoku linyamezele isiganeko semozulu se-El Nino, esiqhelene neziganeko ezigqithisileyo ezinje ngemililo yasendle kunye nezitshingitshane.
I-Australia iye yathwaxwa luthotho lweentlekele kule minyaka yakutsha nje-imbalela enkulu kunye nemililo yamatyholo, iminyaka elandelelanayo yezikhukula zerekhodi, kunye neziganeko ezithandathu zobunzima bokukhanya kwiGreat Barrier Reef.
Ikamva leentlekele ezimandundu linokwenzeka ngaphandle kokuba kuthathwe amanyathelo angxamisekileyo ukunqanda utshintsho lwemozulu, ingxelo yamva nje ye-UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) iyalumkisa.
