Last year was a time of exceptional weather and record-breaking heat according to the Bureau of Meteorology’s annual climate statement, which was released last night.

| Queensland’s ‘unprecedented’ bushfires were part of a year of extremes. |
The Bureau issued four Special Climate Statements relating to “extreme” and “abnormal” heat, and reported a number of broken climate records.
One of the headline stories for the year was drought across eastern Australia — centred on New South Wales, but also affecting Victoria, eastern South Australia and southern Queensland.
Read the story from The Conversation by the Climate Scientist with Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Karl Braganza - “Australia’s 2018 in weather: drought, heat and fire.”
