Warmest decade on record: Bureau's 2009 review

摘要

The Bureau of Meteorology's annual climate review for 2009 delivered what some regard as the most comprehensive data yet signalling a marked change in the Australian climate.rnLast year will be remembered by many Australians for its intense bushfires, record heatwaves, dust-storms, flooding and continuing drought. The Bureau noted in its review that 2009 was Australia's second warmest year since high-quality records began in 1910, being an estimated 0.90℃ above the 30-year average benchmark of 1961-1990.
