It feels like every year we prepare for a “hotter than usual” summer and this year continues the trend.
Australia could set a summer heat record this year, with cities across the south-east expecting baking temperatures over the coming months. Western Australia led the charge with its hottest summer on record. BONDI BEACH, SYDNEY: Crowds flocked to Bondi Beach on Monday 18 September, 2023 to enjoy the warm weather.

The air over those waters takes on the same qualities – thereby becoming warmer and more humid than usual. Secondly, we have the background influence of climate change that has warmed Australia’s summers by 0.6C over a 30-year stretch. That ended up being just 0.09C short of the record warm nights recorded during the 2019/2020 Black Summer.
Daytime tops should be a little higher than last year, but nights are even more likely to stay up for sustained periods – meaning heatwaves are likely to develop. The coming summer should be just as warm, if not hotter – potentially challenging the city’s record.
