Australia just flipped the thermostat to 'extreme' 🌡️, clocking its hottest spring since records began in 1910. The national average temperature soared to 2.08°C above the 1961-1990 baseline, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. That’s hotter than a TikTok trend going viral!
This scorching season beat the previous 2020 record by a razor-thin 0.05°C – proving climate change isn’t hitting the snooze button. 🌏 The bureau confirmed every corner of the country felt the heat, with temperatures 1°C warmer than any 20th-century spring.
How do they measure it? Data from 112 weather stations nationwide, analyzed like a climate-conscious detective 🕵️♂️. And before you ask: yes, this aligns with global warming patterns. Experts warn such extremes could become the 'new normal' if emissions keep rising. Yikes!
