Australia in winter 2017

The winter mean temperature was very much above average for Australia, placing at fifth-warmest on record with an anomaly of +1.11 °C. Mean temperatures were the second-warmest on record for winter for Queensland, third-warmest for Western Australia, and ninth-warmest for the Northern Territory.

Mean maximum temperatures were the highest on record (+1.90 °C) for Australia as a whole. Daytime temperatures averaged across winter were above average for nearly all of Australia, with more than 90% of Australia in the highest 10% of historical observations (decile 10). Large areas of northern Australia observed record high mean maxima; for Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory winter mean maxima were the warmest on record, while winter days were the second-warmest on record for South Australia and third-warmest on record for New South Wales.
