Australia's January heatwave broke records. Climate change made it five times more likely.

Record temperatures exceeded 50°C in south-eastern Australia in January 2026. Climate science shows the heatwave was five times more likely due to human-caused warming.

The Daily Perspective

Yup. Welcome to #ClimateChange. Winter to Summer (and maybe back to Winter again) in record time! Also, #Maine is going to tie/break the record for the high on #March10th

Monday soars to a springlike 68 degrees. Warmth not letting up, with a good shot of record-setting highs Tuesday.
Highs will reach the upper 60s and low 70s across the region

Unprecedented winter heat in Queensland as records fall in several states

An exceptionally hot air mass for this time of year has just produced the highest winter temperature ever recorded in Queensland, with records also falling at locations across several other states. Numerous records have been broken across Australia during the past week as unseasonably hot air drifts across the continent. On Friday, this record-breaking hot air mass was focussed on parts of Qld, NSW, SA and the NT. Image: Forecast maximum temperature on Friday, August 30, according to the ECMWF-HRES model. Prior to 2024, the highest winter temperature on record in Qld was 38.5°C at Bedourie on August 29, 2009. Birdsville came close to breaking this state winter record on last Sunday when the mercury reached 38.4°C. Now, five days later, Birdsville has managed to break this record. Birdsville’s running maximum temperature at 3:30pm AEST on Friday was 39.6°C. This is roughly 15°C above average for this time of year and Qld’s highest winter temperature on record. Winter temperature records have also been broken in parts of NSW, SA and the NT on Friday. Bourke’s running maximum temperature of 37.1°C as of 3:30pm AEST on Friday is a new winter record for the northwest NSW town. In SA, Moomba’s running maximum of 37.3°C as of 1:30pm ACST on Friday also makes this their hottest winter day on record. Alice Springs reached 36.6°C shortly before 3pm ACST, beating its previous winter record of 35.6°C. "It feels like high summer," Alice Springs local Debbie Fearon told Weatherzone, and she's not wrong, as the average max in January, the hottest month, is 36.5°C. It’s possible that higher temperatures will occur on Friday afternoon, so these records may be surpassed in the coming hours. This inland heat will also linger into the weekend and spread towards the nation’s east coast in the next few days. Brisbane is expected to see maximum temperatures in the low to mid-30s between now and Monday next week, which could get close to the city’s highest winter temperature on record, which was 35.4°C from August 24, 2009.

Sunday was world’s hottest ever recorded day, data suggests https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jul/23/world-temperature-records-shattered-hottest-day-climate-crisis?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other “World #TemperatureRecords were shattered on Sunday on what may be the hottest day scientists have ever logged,

the average surface air temperature hit 17.09C (62.76F) on Sunday, according to preliminary data from the Copernicus #ClimateChange Service, which holds data that stretches back to 1940. The reading inched above the previous record of 17.08C (62.74F) set on 6 July last year,”

There's absolutely no easy way of putting it. We are now in a fullblown global climate catastrophe.

Turkey 🇹🇷 has just hit a high of +39.2°C (102.6°F). This is the highest temperature recorded in the month of April for Turkey.

It is extremely hot in Africa too. Both Niger 🇳🇪 and Chad 🇹🇩 equal their respective April national records.

Meanwhile the chill continues for much of Europe...
