Hottest April on record

It's official, April 2005 is the hottest on record. Our April is even warmer than March, the flowers are getting confused :)

It's a blooming mess as April marches us back to springtime

Climatologist Blair Trewin said the average for April, including maximums and minimums from about 100 sites nationwide, stood at 2.79C above the norm for the month.

"The average temperature will be a record by a very substantial margin," Dr Trewin said. He said the previous April record was 1.73C above average in 2002, and the previous biggest difference from normal in any month was 2.32C in June 1996.
...
In March, Sydney's maximum temperatures averaged 24.3C, whereas the April highs averaged 25.1C – 2.7C above the monthly norm. It is the first time since 1906 that an April has been warmer than March in Sydney.
...
Understandably, Frances Bodkin's Sydney black wattle is very confused. Normally flowering in late winter, it has already bloomed three times this year and now thinks it's spring again.

Whatever causing it, it's good. I prefer warmer weather and I think it's true for people in general. Let's hope the weather doesn't try to correct itself and pound us with the coldest winter in history.
