http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/change/?ftr
Australia and the globe are experiencing rapid climate change. Since the middle of the 20th century, Australian temperatures have, on average, risen by about 1°C with an increase in the frequency of heatwaves and a decrease in the numbers of frosts and cold days. Rainfall patterns have also changed - the northwest has seen an increase in rainfall over the last 50 years while much of eastern Australia and the far southwest have experienced a decline.

predicted between +0.3 and +0.7°C

continued drought, widespread surface fires, and shifting upper-level winds increase mean surface temperature
