Earlier, 2005 was considered to be warmest year in Australia. But now, things are going to be changed as 2013 will replace the above mentioned year.

The latest report by the Climate Council has uncovered that September was the hottest month since the time records have started. Climate scientist Will Steffen has a reason to explain as to what leads Australia to have a warmer climate.

As per him, Australia has high sea surface temperature and that forms the basic reasons for having warmer climate. Report's author Professor Steffen was of the view that with passage of time, Australia has been witnessing rise in hot days and heat-waves severity and frequency have also increased.

"Although Australia has always had heatwaves, hot days and bushfires, climate change is increasing the risk of more frequent and longer heatwaves and more extreme hot days", affirmed Steffen.

Records are often broken when it comes to temperature in Australia. But this time, new parameters seem to get set. Supporting the report's findings, NASA has also unveiled that 10 hottest years were from the last 15 years.

Climate Council is a non-profit organization made by the new government. It works with the help of funding provided by public donations.
