Australia swelters after recording hottest year in 2013 THE hottest year, the hottest spring and summer, the hottest summer day and the warmest winter day: 2013 was a record-setting year in weather. The Bureau of Meteorology's annual climate statement, released today, shows 2013 was Australia's hottest year since records began in 1910. It says the national mean temperature was 1.20 degrees celsius above the 1961-1990 average. "Long periods of warmer-than-average days have been common, with a distinct lack of cold weather," the statement says. The year was also the hottest on record for South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. It was the second-hottest year on record for New South Wales and Queensland, third for Victoria and fourth for Tasmania. The BoM says Australia experienced just one cooler-than-average year in the past decade in 2011. The national rainfall was slightly below average in 2013 with 428mm. Meanwhile, the hot weather is sparking fears of bushfires around the country. Authorities are concerned a large bushfire on North Stradbroke Island, east of Brisbane, could jump containment lines at the weekend. Extra fire crews are arriving on the island as hotter temperatures and stronger winds predicted for Saturday and Sunday are expected to fan the flames. About 900 campers were forced to leave the island on Wednesday, however no more evacuations are planned. The blaze has burnt 3500 hectares so far but the body of the fire is mostly burning within containment lines today. Power has also been restored to the island after an outage about midday yesterday. The Rural Fire Service is monitoring several other fires across the state's southwest as the temperatures rise. Today, it is expected to reach 47C in Thargomindah and Cunnamulla. The BoM has issued fire weather warnings for the Channel Country, Maranoa and Warrego, and the Darling Downs and Granite Belt districts. theaustralian.com.au
