Apparently ROYGBIV is dead, and the experts have decided that Indigo doesn't actually exist. It seems that Isaac Newton settled on 7 colours for the spectrum, because he was a great believer in Pythagoreanism, and Pythagoras believed the number 7 was crucial to every scientific, mathematical and physics discovery.

One of the interesting parts of Jone's forecasting was forecasting repeated cycles in the weather extremes. Droughts and heatwaves feature large in the weather cycles, and the 80 year cycle is the most pronounced.

We endured the worst drought in living memory in W.A. in 1980, and it coincided with the Federation drought, with the worst drought year during the Federation drought, being in 1900, in W.A.

 

There was another bad drought in 1944-1945, that struck both W.A. and the Eastern States, and the current drought in W.A. earlier this season, and in S.A. and Victoria this year, coincides with the 80 year cycle.

Our neighbour's son is Inigo. They also have an Oscar and a Felix, and coincidentally, 2 other families in our street also have an Oscar and a Felix, in that age order.
