Australia records the hottest year ever recorded on the Australian continent. According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, 2005 was the warmest year since the introduction of accurate means of measuring temperatures in 1910.
According to the information collected by the Bureau of Meteorology, the average seasonal temperature in Australia in 2005 was 1.09°C higher than the average temperature between 1961 and 1990, and this further confirms the evidence of global warming and changes in the global climate.
Sources in the bureau claim that there is evidence of the retreat of the snow line in winter, an increase in sudden "cold", and an increase in hot days to an extreme level. Experts predict that the trend will continue, and all the models show an increase in temperatures throughout the 21st century.
The previous average increase of 0.84°C was measured in 1998, and although the increases seem relatively small, every 1°C increase in average temperature is equivalent to a 100 km northward migration of towns in South Australia.
Since 1979, except for 4 years, every year a temperature higher than the average temperature has been recorded. The temperature of the country as a whole has increased by 0.9°C since 1910 - fully in line with the global warming of the earth. And scientific studies have linked global warming and Australian warming to the greenhouse effect that results from various gases in the earth's enveloping atmosphere and do not allow the heat emitted from the earth to go out into outer space.
