Parts of Australia pretty warm too

From the local Tamworth news:
So far, this winter in Tamworth has been unusually dry and warm.
This June fell well short of the month's long term average rain with just 16.4mm which was only slightly greater than one quarter of the month's mean, 57.7mm.

The city hasn't seen a drop of yet in July; a month which typically brings 45.6mm.
Top temperatures in the middle month of winter are tracking at record highs in 2019.
Thermometers are peaking at 20.7 degrees in July which is 4.5 degrees above the average.
June was a little warmer than usual as well, climbing 1.2 degrees above the standard set in the last 25 years.
Dry and warm winter could likely prolong Tamworth's water restrictions as Chaffey Dam's capacity continues to fall.
The dam, which is currently the chief supply for Tamworth's population, fell to 23 per cent recently.
That's a pretty significant top temperature above average, by the sounds.

Comparing top temperatures to average temperatures and making like its a big deal makes no sense. All the language here is ambiguous. They've had to take it down to a single town even to talk in this way. So the big news is that there is no warming news.

This is a bit like when you had to go 500 billion light years away to find quantitative support for Einsteins nonsense.
