"This year, for many Australians, it feels like summer never left. The sunny
days and warm nights have continued well into autumn. Even now, in May, it’s
still unusually warm.
Much of the southern half of the continent is experiencing both unseasonable
warmth and dry conditions. This is linked to persistent high atmospheric
pressure (called “blocking”) to the south and southeast of Australia.
While temperatures will fall across southern Australia as we approach the
winter solstice, early indications are that this winter will be a warm one.
Rainfall predictions are less certain.
The extra warmth we’ve experienced raises obvious questions about the influence
of human-caused climate change. The warming signal is clear and it’s a sign of
things to come."
