Re: Let's talk about the Weather.
January was Australia’s hottest month on record, with the country’s mean temperature exceeding 30C for the first time since records began in 1910.The Bureau of Meteorology released its climate summary for January on Friday and said the widespread heatwave conditions and daily extremes were “unprecedented”.
“There’s been so many records it’s really hard to count,” said Andrew Watkins, a senior climatologist at the Bom.
January was Australia’s warmest month for mean, maximum and minimum temperatures.
Large parts of Australia received only 20% of their normal rainfall, particularly throughout the south-east in Victoria and parts of New South Wales and South Australia.
Tasmania, which has been battling bushfires throughout the past month, had its driest ever January.
Watkins said Borrona Downs in north-west NSW broke the record for hottest minimum temperature, registering one night at 36.6C.
Port Augusta recorded the country’s highest ever temperature in January, reaching 49.5C.
“We’ve also seen records in many states set including places like Victoria where Swan Hill and Kerang got up over 47.5C,” Watkins said.

causing massive thunder storms at the airport which meant we missed our flight...I suppose the weather is only going to get more extreme there though with global warming
