Interesting that NASA satellites found the Australian lower troposphere cooler in August than July

whereas the BoM adjusted ACORN mean temperatures found August way warmer than July see chart link below.

Here is a BoM mean T anomaly map for August 2023 showing the red peak anomaly zone right through central wide brown land where there are few weather stations.
You could not make up BoM rubbish and add to that the changes to electric Pt resistance thermometers in recent decades all which can add to hotter readings.

and see Chris Gillham’s updated monthly chart “Australian climate cooling since 2012” comparing BoM adjusted ACORN mean t with NASA satellites for Australia.

This map of the wide brown land mean T deciles for winter shows both Sydney and Canberra regions as “Highest on record” yet both sites had warmer winters in 2013.

Once again BoM maps not worth paper printed on.
