This is a list of countries and sovereign states by temperature. Average yearly temperature is calculated by averaging the minimum and maximum daily temperatures in the country, averaged for the years 1991 – 2020, from World Bank Group , derived from raw gridded climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit .
Average temperatures top 32 °C (90 °F) during summer and 15 °C (59 °F) in winter. Victoria's highest maximum temperature of 48.8 °C (119.8 °F) was recorded in Hopetoun on 7 February 2009, during the 2009 south-eastern Australia heat wave. [12] A screen temperature of 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) was recorded on 7 January 1906 in Mildura. [60] [61]
This is characterised by warm sunny weather, mild balmy evenings and a generally constant weather pattern annually. [16] Average maximum and minimum temperatures annually are 25.5 degrees Celsius and 15.7 degrees Celsius respectively, [17] with the region's relatively close proximity to the coral sea and Pacific Ocean resulting in overall ...
It was previously thought that the highest temperature in Australia was 53.1 °C (127.6 °F) in Cloncurry, Queensland, on 16 January 1889. This record has been removed by the Bureau of Meteorology though as it was measured using a non-standard temperature screen. It is believed that the temperature that day was most likely about 47 °C (117 °F).
Climate scientists have reported the world is around 1.2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels, and it’s on track to breach 1.5 degrees of warming in the coming years — a critical ...
The main goal is to keep long-term global temperatures from warming 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times and if not that well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees) by slashing planet-warming emissions from coal, oil and gas.
The Cooktown orchid became known as Queensland's floral emblem in 1959, during celebrations to mark the state's centenary, [123] [124] and the Barrier Reef Anemone Fish was officially named as Queensland's aquatic emblem in March 2005. [125] The sapphire was named the official state gem for Queensland in August 1985. [126] [127]
Last year's global average temperature easily passed 2023's record heat and kept going. It surpassed the long-term warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit ) since the late 1800s that was called for by the 2015 Paris climate pact, according to the European Commission's Copernicus Climate Service, the United Kingdom's ...
