October in Australia was very hot this year, the second-hottest on record.

Australia experienced its second-warmest October since national records began 114 years ago. According to data collected by the Bureau of Meteorology from various weather stations, the average daily maximum and minimum temperatures last month were 2.51 degrees above the usual.

It is evident that climate change has had a significant impact on the weather patterns in Australia. Out of the ten months that have passed this year, nine of them have had temperatures well above the average. The only exception was April, which had slightly cooler temperatures than normal. This is an alarming trend that highlights the urgency of addressing climate change.

In October, Queensland experienced its second-warmest October on record, with temperatures reaching 2.7 degrees higher than the long-term average. All states, except Tasmania, had temperatures at least two degrees above their usual for the month. The biggest deviation from the average was seen in August, with temperatures soaring three degrees above the norm.

So far, this year has been relatively dry for most Australians. In October, rainfall was slightly below average in Melbourne and Sydney, while Adelaide, Canberra, and Hobart had exceptionally dry conditions. The only exception was Western Australia, which had above-average rainfall.
