Australia has recently experienced a rise in temperature, with record-breaking numbers being recorded across the country. The warm weather has been especially noticeable towards the end of winter, with one particular weather station in Western Australia standing out for its likely record-setting temperature. According to reliable sources, Yampi Sound in the Kimberley region has reached a remarkable 41.5 degrees, just before 3pm today. This would surpass the previous record of 41.2 degrees at West Roebuck, also in Western Australia, which was set on August 23, 2020.
But this is not the only record being broken in Australia. South Australia has also joined in on the action, with new winter maximum temperature records being set in the outback town of Oodnadatta on Friday and Saturday. The temperature there reached a scorching 39.4 degrees on Saturday afternoon, according to Weatherzone. Meanwhile, the cities of Sydney and Melbourne have not been spared from the heat, with temperatures of 24.4 degrees and 15.8 degrees recorded respectively. Brisbane has also experienced warm weather, with a temperature of 27.8 degrees at the same time and more records expected to be broken in Queensland.
As the south-east of Australia prepares for a week of mid-30s temperatures, experts are concerned about the unusually warm winter. This trend is not surprising, given the current climate crisis that the world is facing. Unfortunately, this warm weather has also affected the snow season in Australia, with multiple ski resorts reporting significant snow loss and unfavorable conditions due to the early arrival of spring weather. It seems that even the natural landscapes of Australia are not immune to the effects of climate change.
In the midst of all this, there have been other news stories making headlines in Australia. The recent "execution-style murder" of the "Angel of Death" has shocked the nation, as well as the promise from Qantas to honor discount flights after a mistake that cost them $15,000. In addition, the state of South Australia has been a bit cooler compared to the rest of the country, with a temperature of 16.1 degrees just before lunch time. But with the rising temperatures across the country, this could be one of the hottest weeks on record for the state.
