The mean Australian temperature was 0.51C below the 1961–1990 average but should be above-average for April to June
Mean temperatures across Australia were 0.51C below the 1961–1990 average, the lowest since 2015, thanks to a high pressure system that arose off Australia’s south-west coast in the middle of the month.“What we had in April was a blocking high to the south of Australia, which directed cold southerly winds across a huge part of the country,” Weatherzone meteorologist Yoska Hernandez said.
However, he said, overall we should expect above-average temperatures from April to June, after earlier this year facing the second-warmest March on record for minimum temperatures. The rest of the world faced the warmest April on record, with average surface air temperatures 0.67C above 1991-2020, leaving the world only one month away from a straight year of record monthly high temperatures.
