Since Bobby has locked my DuByne thread I'll just have to post this here
Australia in April 2018
Australia's second-warmest April on record, with a monthly mean temperature 2.38 °C above average (the record is +2.66 °C, set in 2005)
Daytime temperatures exceptionally warm across Australia, with mean maximum temperature for April amongst the five warmest on record for the Northern Territory and all States except Tasmania
Mean minimum temperatures also very much above average; amongst the ten warmest April mean minima for Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia
The driest April since 1997 and the eighth-driest April on record for Australia; rainfall across southern Australia well below average
Exceptionally warm, dry weather associated with significant autumn fire activity, affecting South Australia and New South Wales in the first half of the month
Abnormal warmth persisted throughout all but the last week of the month. The heat, which was more characteristic of mid-summer than mid-autumn, was unprecedented in many areas in April for its intensity, its persistence or both. The spatial extent of the heat was also exceptional, with above-average maximum temperatures extending almost nationwide on each day during the first 10 days of the month. For the month as a whole records were set for record-high April mean daily maximum temperature at numerous sites in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.

I guess we will just have to wait a bit longer for the ice age ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
