This fourth, biennial State of the Climate report draws on
the latest monitoring, science and projection information to describe
variability and changes in Australia's climate, and how it is likely to change
in the future. Observations and climate modelling paint a consistent picture of
ongoing, long-term climate change interacting with underlying natural
variability.
These changes affect many Australians, particularly changes
associated with increases in the frequency or intensity of heat events, fire
weather and drought. Australia will need to plan for and adapt to some level of
climate change. This report is a synthesis of the science informing our understanding
of climate in Australia, and includes new information about Australia's climate
of the past, present and future. The science underpinning this report will help
inform a range of economic, environmental and social decision-making and local
vulnerability assessments, by government, industry and communities.

Meteorology report - “State of the Climate 2016.”
