Sydney Morning Herald: Australia notches another hot month, breaking a record for January that had stood since 1932.
Australia's year of extreme weather has collected a fresh record with January posting the hottest average temperatures for the month on record.
With just a day's data to be collected, the average of maximum and minimum temperatures for the month was 29.7 degrees. That tally was 1.79 degrees above the long-term average.
Almost certainly there'll be a hotter, longer, more extreme spell (in February)...
