A milder than usual
summer has been deceptive.
Many have assumed it was cooler than usual, but the Bureau
of Meteorology notes that the summer 2014–15 was the fifth-warmest on record
for Australia (mean temperature anomaly +0.86 °C).
It says that both maximum and minimum temperatures were well
above average for the season.
“The national maximum temperature anomaly was +0.94 °C (the
fourth-warmest on record) and the minimum temperature anomaly was +0.79 °C
(equal-sixth-warmest on record,” it says on its website.

What happened in Australia was part of a world-wide pattern
as reported by ClimateProgress in its story: “NASA: Earth Tops Hottest 12 Months On Record Again, Thanks To Warm February”.
