"January last year was the warmest month Australia has ever recorded, while just a few weeks ago in December, we saw the Australia-wide record hottest daily average maximum temperature broken multiple days in a row." "At the same time, rainfall deficiencies across large parts of eastern Austra...
The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations' data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years' signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to ...
This upward swing should ensure 2023 becomes the new warmest year on record, an assessment shared by the Bureau of Meteorology's senior climatologist Blair Trewin. "If current 2023 temperature anomalies are maintained, or increase, over the last four months of...
CANBERRA, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- The last five years have been the hottest on earth since records began, Australia's Climate Council has confirmed. Data released by the Climate Council and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed that the global average temperature between...
SYDNEY (AP) — Australia experienced its hottest day on record and temperatures are expected to soar even higher as heatwave conditions embrace most of the country.
Samantha Burgess emphasized that recognizing 2024 as the hottest year on record should incentivize more active emission reductions and raise ambition at the next climate change conference. "It will also be the first year that is completely above 1.5ºC of global warming, a milestone never seen ...
In both cases, having normal conditions across the Pacific during the past year would have resulted in 2022 being tied — with 2020 for NASA and 2016 for NOAA — as the warmest year on record! “When the variability in the Pacific inevitably shifts b...
"This string of record temperatures is increasing the likelihood of 2024 being the hottest year on record. "The temperature-related extreme events witnessed this summer will only become more intense, with more devastating consequences for people and the planet unless we take urgent action to reduce...
CANBERRA, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Australia in July may be synonymous with winter, but the nation's Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) on Tuesday confirmed that the country's Northern Territory just sweltered through its hottest July on record.
In a separate analysis of global temperature data, scientists from the U.S. space agency NASA also found 2016 to be the warmest on record. The announcements by NOAA and NASA are something that can be expected, since the first eight months of the year had record high temperatures for their...
