After a red hot few months Central Australia is still exceeding 30 degrees each day, enabling it to become the hottest start to the year on record. Every recording station in the Alice Springs area has been reaching at least 30 degrees every day for the past week and should do so for a few more. This is about seven degrees above average for this time of year.
Some locations will get close to breaking May records for consecutive days of 30 degrees or warmer. Alice Springs' May record for 30-degree heat is nine consecutive days, set in 1999. The central Australian town has just overtaken 2005 as the hottest start to a year in 70 years of records.
