In Australia 41.6 degrees centigrade in the middle of winter

A dramatic record was recorded in Australia, with a maximum of 41.6 degrees Celsius reached while the winter season is still ongoing.

THE climate changes they bring meteorological upheavals in every season.And if they extreme heat waves they are felt much more clearly in the summer, they also exist during the winter months.He knows it well Australia who just recorded a historical record:never had the maximum temperature on its territory reached similar levels.Which, in fact, usually characterize summers more.

The thermal anomaly in Australia is gigantic

On Monday 26 August the mercury column reached the incredible value of 41.6 degrees centigrade, in the northwestern portion of the country.This was after several days of extreme heat.This was announced by the Australian Meteorological Center, which confirmed the exceeding of 0.4 degrees of previous record, reached in August 2020 a West Roebuck.

The temperature was recorded by a power station located at the Yampi Sound military camp at 3.37pm local time.And although the data still needs to be verified and confirmed, it represents in any case a gigantic anomaly, precisely taking into account the time of year: Australia it is still in fact midwinter (the season lasts from June to August).

2024 is set to be the hottest year ever

This is data that will contribute, globally, to making 2024 the hottest year on record since temperatures have been monitored regularly.Which, according to them scientists, it is very likely that it could occur, since in the period January-July the global average temperature has already been 0.7 degrees higher compared to the period 1991-2020, as indicated by the European climate monitoring service Copernicus.

Furthermore, in Australia, “winter will soon be over – he commented to the Guardian Angus Hines, meteorologist – and temperatures will only rise, towards spring”.Likewise, as pointed out from the broadcaster 9News, also the season of snow ended this year earlier than expected, due to lack of precipitation.The risk is that in the future the conditions could be created for a summer season once again threatened by mega-fires.
