    Average temperatures in Australia peaked in 1878, with 1889 also being a very hot year.

    Maximum temperatures in Australia peaked in the 1870’s, with 1878 being the hottest. Temperatures declined sharply until the 1930’s and have warmed a little since then.


    Absolute maximum temperatures show a strong warming until about 1900, which is an artifact of adding hotter stations.
