‘Same shit, different year’: Australia records hottest 12 months and warmest March on record | Australia weather

Australia witnessed the most hot period of 12 months ever, ending with the most important march ever, as last month the temperatures witnessed 2.41C higher than average.

The office said that its data dating back to 1910 showed 12 months ending in March 2025 average of 1.61 degrees Celsius above the average-which is the hottest in any period of 12 months, overcoming the previous 1.51C brand that was identified from January to December 2019.

2.41C recorded for the month of March easily won the previous 2.03C brand specified in 2019.

March also had the hottest temperatures overnight for this month, at 2.53 ° C above an average of 30 years between 1961 and 1990.

Australia had to warn its summer in the spring in 2024-25, with the six months from September to 1.98 ° C above the average. The previous record was 1.68C set in 2019-2020.

“It is the same disgust, a different year,” said climate scientist at Anu Professor Sarah Perkins Kirkpatrick. “I’m sure everyone is now tired that these records continue to decline. They are now incredibly predictable.”

Dr. Simon Greenger, chief climate specialist in the office, said that Australia also had a common start in any year at 2.08 degrees Celsius higher than average, linked to January to March 2019.

He said: “It was the warmest 12 months ever. This is very great to overcome such a record for the tenth degree.”

Greenger said that March had seen the absence of low -pressure systems that usually bring cooler conditions in the south of the country.

“We haven’t seen cold temperatures at any time during the month. This is all part of a global standard warm temperature that we see.”

New South Wales and South Australia had the hottest months in March at the level of medium temperatures. Victoria was the second most famous.

Western Australia had a clean survey, as it recorded a more hot march for average temperatures, minimal temperatures and maximum temperatures.

The hottest temperature records were broken overnight across all states and regions except Tasmania and Victoria.

Australia has not had a more cold march than the average since 2012.

Dr. Andrew King, the climate scientist at the University of Melbourne, said that the 12 -month record was broken by a large margin, given that its average has been calculated throughout the whole continent.

He said: “We are heating the planet at a large rate now and we continue to put record amounts of carbon dioxide in the air.”

“This is especially anxious because we still see record levels of global greenhouse gas emissions from using fossil fuels.”

Perkins-Caraczpatrick said global heating is likely to play a role in standard temperatures, but the weather patterns were favorable for warmth.

“With the exception of Hurricane Alfred, there were quiet conditions that were very fixed with high pressure systems,” she said.

“But we have more hot and hotter. These records are great, and yes, climate change. We cannot say with certainty that any one season is due to climate change but we know everything is constantly heating.”

On rain, Queensland had the third most march. The quantities of rain were close to the average in other regions except for Tasmania, which was a more drought march since the records of national rainfall in 1900.
