Original: Australia experiences second hottest September on record as El Niño and climate crisis combine https://www.theguardian.c
Australia has just experienced its second hottest September since records began, with the Bureau of Meteorology and climate scientists linking the heat to the combined effect of an active El Niño pattern and the ongoing climate crisis. The record temperatures have renewed concern about an early and severe bushfire season, echoing memories of the 2019-20 black summer fires.
Why now: Record-breaking heat combined with El Niño raises immediate fears of dangerous bushfire conditions in Australia.
