Many swelter in unseasonally hot weather

Australia is grappling with a seemingly endless summer, as every state and territory swelter through an unseasonally hot start to autumn.

The country is experiencing warm weather as the mercury climbs above average in most areas, during a month usually reserved for a cool change, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has said.

Only small areas along the southern coast of Western Australia and along the central Queensland coast have recorded below average maximum temperatures so far this month.
