Drought Conditions in Queensland, Australia
Drought-hit Queensland swelters through the hottest 12 months on record.
Queensland has recorded its hottest year since records began more than 100 years ago. Springtime temperatures have topped 40 degrees in some areas. Records have been kept since 1910.
"The state as a whole has been over four degrees above average for the whole month of September. That beats the previous record by almost two degrees. Around about 35 locations broke their mean, monthly maximum temperature record." Much of Queensland is drought-declared following an extended period of dry weather over the west of the state. The weather bureau expects above average temperatures to continue into summer.
