"If you’ve been out and about the past few days, you may have noticed Australia
is experiencing an unseasonably warm winter. It’s been t-shirt weather across
many parts of the country’s east, including Sydney where temperatures topped
25℃ on Sunday.

Meanwhile, at high altitudes, the cover at some snowfields remains lacklustre,
even after warm conditions forced a delay to the start of the traditional ski
season.

All this comes after the world experienced its hottest month since reliable
records began. July brought an incredible 21 of the warmest 30 days ever
recorded – prompting the United Nations to declare a new era of “global
boiling”.

So what’s going on with the weather in Australia? Should we just enjoy the
pleasant conditions, or is it a troubling sign of what’s to come under climate
change?"
