Melbourne refuses to warm as it twice did The warmist Bureau of Meteorology rushes out a special statement mid-March to hype a heat wave as evidence of global warming: The frequency of extreme high temperatures, and lack of extreme low temperatures, in Australia in recent months is consistent with long-term trends towards more extreme high temperatures and fewer extreme low temperatures, which in turn is consistent with an overall warming in Australian mean temperatures of about 0.9Â°C since 1910. But damn. March ended up cool, and the records for the warmest March recorded for Melbourne stubbornly remain two set more than 70 years ago: Weather bureau senior forecaster Richard Carlyon said Melbourne recorded an average maximum daily temperature of 27.6C for March, short of the 28.9C record set in 1940 and 1934"s 27.8C. Meanwhile, no warming in Britain: Britain is on track for the coldest March since 1962, according to national weather service the Met Office... In fact: Britain had its coldest Easter day on record this weekend, with temperatures dropping as low as -12.5C to round off a freezing month. No warming in Germany: ...meteorologists are telling us this could end up being the coldest March in Berlin and its surroundings since records began in the 1880s. Thanks to readers Jeff and John.
