Canberra set for warmer than average autumn due to rise in ocean temperatures: Bureau of Meteorology. The BoM said “…this year’s autumn weather conditions would be relative to 2014, which saw record-breaking temperatures.” What are they talking about ? Autumn 2014 was near average for the ACT.
Summer Outlooks for Australia only had minor areas cooler than average or in the uncoloured average zones.
Real world summer days saw anomalies in the -1° to +1°C zone or cooler for the majority of Australia.
Yet another prediction of “record” temperatures in Qld from the BOM for today:

As of 6.15pm AEST it looks as though they missed Brisbane, Amberley and the Gold Coast – scored well on Sunshine coast and out west. But who knows what short term spikes they might find.
