Australia's third-warmest summer on record, 1.62 °C above the 1961-1990 average.

I Think the standout statistic for me was Summer mean minimum temperatures were 'very much above average' for nearly all of Australia and highest on record for south-eastern Queensland, north-eastern New South Wales, Cape York Peninsula and parts of inland Western Australia and the Top End of the Northern Territory. More warm summer nights which has #heatHealth implications
