"Has Sydney felt more like Cairns lately? You’re not imagining it – millions of
Australians up and down the east coast have sweltered through exceptionally
high humidity in recent weeks.
It’s due to normal weather patterns combined with a boost from global warming.
Right now, the temperature of the sea surface is 1–3°C above normal for this
time of year up and down the east coast. It’s particularly hot around the
Queensland-New South Wales border and Tasmania’s east coast.
When we have high ocean temperatures, we get more water evaporating. This is
taken up by the air, which can hold more moisture when the air is hotter. This
moist air is then carried to us by winds, and the sweating begins."
