Chris Gillham has updated his chart (Mar 2012 to Feb 2023) of ACORN V2.3 mean t(Aussie land stations many affected by UHI now stroked & tweaked by BoM) vs NASA UAH lower troposphere temps from satellites. His page is headed – Australian climate plateau since 2012 – Datasets show no warming for more than a decade

BoM three-monthly mean temperature anomaly for Australia 1Dec2022 to 28Feb2023

At this BoM page you can also easily checkout the max anomaly (Daytime) and Min anomaly (Night time) maps.
This summer has been marked by amazing BoM publicity about heatwaves – perhaps readers can report their experience of heatwaves this summer – thanks.
In a few days the UAH Global map of lower troposphere T anomalies for Feb should appear at link below.

>”… perhaps readers can report their experience of heatwaves this summer”
Day after dreary day of persistent rain and low-for-summer temperatures – such as max 13-14C.
The BoMbo has been quoted in the despicable MSM as insisting that Aus temperatures this 2022-23 summer were “higher than normal”. Not higher than average, but higher than normal. Not defining “normal”, of course.
The higher mean anomaly temperatures on the map seem to have occurred more often where there are no thermometers now or were none during the averaging reference period. The remote parts of the country where surface area is large counts for more in the area averaged tally. The lack of thermometers means it is mostly derived infill that is getting counted.
Surely when working with anomolies, a smaller positive one inidicates slower rate of warming, not actually cooling.
