Weird Weather?O.0

Violent Storms in Perth( Not so sunny anymore)

Wow. Look at the size of the hail-stones>.<

Recently, I was watching CNA news about the violent storms that Western Australia is having.The above are some pictures about one of the largest storms to hit the west coast city of Perth. And to think that Perth is suppose to be rather hot, just like Singapore(Summer whole year>.<)...And if one follows the weather from Down Under often, one will realise that Australia always suffer from drought and stuffs like that. However, in recent months, there had been 2 major hail-storms happening in Melbourne and Perth. It could be due to the upcoming winter in June, which is causing the rain-water in the atmosphere to freeze and drop. From what I know, it will take an awful lot of water for hail stones of those size^^^ to develop. 

Hmm...maybe mother nature is trying to balance the climate conditions in Australia, because there had been too long a drought already? However, it could also mean global warming, the increase rain could be due to the southern seas heating up and hence causing an increase in rain on the coastal areas. 

Of course, there might be an issue of other natural factors as well that may have contribute to these phenomenons.( Well I am not a geography student=P)...but apparently, the weather is changing and climate conditions is showing odd patterns. Are we too late in remedying the problem caused by us?
