Australia's Hottest Summer On Record

Sunday 3 Mar, 2013

AUSTRALIA HAS ITS WARMEST SUMMER ON RECORD

By Dr. Jeff Masters

The historic summer of 2012 - 2013 is now in the books in Australia as the hottest summer on record, beating the previous mark set in 1997 - 1998 by more than 0.1°C. Australia also roasted through its hottest month on record this summer, with January 2013 topping out as Australia's warmest month since record keeping began in 1910. The oceans surrounding Australia were at their second warmest levels on record during January, contributing to the exceptional heat over the nation. The summer heat peaked during a remarkably long and widespread heatwave in late December and the first half of January, when fourteen of the 112 sites used by the Bureau of Meteorology for long-term monitoring had their hottest day on record. Sydney's 45.8°C on January 18 and Hobart's 41.8°C on January 4 were among the places which set new records.

The highest temperature during the heatwave was 49.6°C at Moomba in the far northeast of South Australia--Australia’s highest temperature since 1998.

The extreme Australian heat helped push the average land temperature over the entire Southern Hemisphere to its warmest value on record during both December 2012 and January 2013. Many parts of southern Africa also had their warmest January on record.

The sound of silence

Monday 4 Feb, 2013

Thanks to the generousity of the Holiday Coast Credit Union, Bucketts Radio will be soundproofing the on-air studio over the next few weeks starting Monday 11th February 2013.  During this construction period most live shows will have to be pre-recorded or automated.  The great music will continue, however, and live announcers will be back as soon as possible.  This project will improve the quality of broadcast and also increase the capacity and efficiency of the current workspace.
