Australia records second hottest September amid El Niño

Original: # Australia Australia experiences second hottest September on record as El Niño and climate crisis combine Alpine areas

Australia has just experienced its second hottest September on record, with the El Niño pattern combining with climate change to drive exceptional heat. The warmth extended to the alpine regions, where Kosciuszko National Park recorded a snow depth of zero, an unprecedented loss of snow cover for the time of year. The figures underline how El Niño events are now amplifying warming driven by the climate crisis.

Why now: The record heat and the loss of all snow in Kosciuszko National Park highlight the immediate impact of El Niño combined with global warming.
