Hottest Autumn On Record

[icyfroth]

Australia has experienced its hottest two years on record and high temperatures are set to continue through winter in a clear sign climate change is having an impact, a new report warns.

May 2012 to April 2014 was the hottest 24-month period ever recorded in Australia, but that is likely to be eclipsed by the two years between June 2012 and May 2014, according to the Climate Commission's latest report, Abnormal Autumn.

"We have just had an abnormally warm autumn, off the back of another very hot 'angry summer'," Climate Coun

cil Professor Will Steffen said.

"The past two-year period has delivered the hottest average temperature we have ever recorded in Australia.

"Climate change is here, it's happening, and Australians are already feeling its impact."

Hi Rose 🙂

Hope you're enjoying your sunny weather.

Conversely, here in Sydney, it's cold, blustery wind and rainy.

Not enjoying it 😞

Like Autumn here. 8th of June and I think maybe we've had a couple of 'warmish' days since the beginning of April. In another month it'll be the longest day, and then we start to deteriorate into Winter. More rain and gale force winds. Years ago the month of June was referred to as 'Flaming June'. Sadly, not so now.

Oh the joys of climate change.
