The heat is back and starting to fire up in the Southeast. Melbourne back into the mid thirties , Hobart the low thirties hot dry and strong winds and total fire bans again. It's nearly April
My prediction of the Hottest March on written records is looking certain now.

I wouldn't be betting on this March being the hottest on record mate.
Very unlikely to happen despite the string of 30 plus days.
Check the records for 1940. They had a ridiculous heat wave which resulted in an average maximum for the month of 28.9C. We'll see

There was a significant fall of rain across most of the state (Tas) recently, some parts up to 180mm over the past 2 weeks, but overall the warm / dry trend does seem to be intact.Hobart on target for hottest March on record.

I think this year my air conditioners will get more use than the gas heating
I can't wait to see some snow on those mountains , but it seems a long way off .

It's interesting how miscommunication can occur. When Ijustnewit put up his post suggesting that March would be the hottest month on record I thought he was referring to Melbournes weather and suggested that probably wouldn't happen.
In fact of course Melbourne didn't have its hottest March on record - but Tasmania did ! So if one is not too specific you can always be right.
Cheers !!
Perth is not far off the hottest April day on record of 37.6 set on the 9th in 1910.
Top so far today: 36.8. Currently: 36.4 with a NNW wind.
lol - I wonder what made it the same temp 103 years ago. That blows the warming and climate change theories, surely...
It doesn't matter at all if we break some record set over 100 years ago by a fraction of one degree - it would be statistically astonishing if we weren't breaking records all the time, even if there was no climate change, and climate change is a completely natural thing anyway, and the actual evidence doesn't point to it having been sent out of whack.
Could you cite the source and research for the actual evidence that you refer to please?
Hobart is running hot
A 15 Month streak of above average temperatures. This April is already looking like going that way as well.

Are you kidding me? It's so self evident that asking for a reference is like asking for proof and references to confirm that daytime temperatures are typically warmer than night temperatures.
It's 11.15am, the temperature is the hottest it has been all day! Every half hour for the last few hours the temperature record has been broken! At this rate I'm going to cook to death before the end of the week! We're all doomed!

We presumably are influencing the climate, but there's no evidence (other than concocted nonsense posing as evidence) to show that we have changed things, so we really can't say by how much, or even if we're making things hotter or cooler than they naturally would have been, or whether we're making things better or worse than they naturally would have been.

I was in Launceston today. It was as though it was literally Summer - people wearing shorts etc and sure didn't feel like normal April weather to me.Hobart is running hot

Somedude: Obviously you can't ask someone to demonstrate that something isn't there. That's like me asking you to find a peer reviewed reference which says I am not king of Mars and all the Martians. It doesn't exist, but not because it is true. Obviously it is not true.

If you want to play the 'let's refer to specific references' game, hey, you pick one and we can dissect it to you heart's content.
There is so much myth and vague belief that 'the climate scientists unanimously agree that humans have radically altered the climate which would otherwise have remained at a natural and constant level without any fluctuation at all'. That's just not the case.
The funding is all biased.
There is no funding available for scientists who seek to find that everything is fine and nothing is going on. No one wants to put masses of money and time into making their own department redundant.
I left a career in science, and no small part of that was being sick of the stupid bias and dishonesty.
