July was the hottest month on Earth since records began...

HOW DOES THE COLDEST MONTH IN 20 YEARS BECOME THE HOTTEST MONTH “EVER’’ ?

July in Melbourne was widely reported as the ” Coldest July in 20 years”

It also was reported at the start of August that Sydney had just “notched its longest cold spell in 26 years” and it was also “the coolest July for the city since 2002”

Even our Bureau of Meteorology reported; ” Temperatures were below average across Sydney during July”

However, have close look at the below map produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) an Obama Government agency (the same people that assert that July 2015 was the hottest month ever).

NOAA assert that temperatures in Melbourne for July 2015 were “Warmer than Average” and for Sydney they were “Much warmer than average”.

Can anyone explain this ?

Bureau of Meteorology Senior Forecaster Mark Anolack said ... “July certainly was cooler than average… Generally around Adelaide we have about 15.3 degrees (Celsius) as an average maximum temperature.

“This year, it was a little bit cooler with 14.6 degrees, and that was actually our coldest July since July 1997.”

Brisbane‘s average monthly maximum in July was 18.1, considerably cooler than the usual 18.9.

Perth was slightly above average with an average maximum of 18.7 as against the usual 18.4
