Australia's summers have become twice as long as its winters amid increasing temperatures driven by climate change, according to new weather data analysis.
While scientists said climate change was not the direct cause of the bushfires, they have long warned that a hotter, drier climate would contribute to Australia's fires becoming more frequent and more intense.Hell to high water: Australia’s summer of extremesIn its analysis, the Australia Institute think tank compared official Bureau of Meteorology data from 1999 to 2018 with mid-20th century benchmarks.
"Temperatures which were considered a regular three-month summer in the 1950s, now span from early to mid-November all the way to mid-March."

It's the 2nd day of Autumn here in Sydney today and its 36C or 97F , it can stay warm until April/May,our winters are short .
I'd love to see all the data from the temperature record. How do we know the summers of the 1950s and 60s it compares it to weren't abnormally short? In any case it's a very very short period to claim anything meaningful from
It's a country for tourism. Don't sell your water to China. Boo hoo our weather is too nice...you're kidding me

So they are trying to define the weather of what is a continent. Believe me the summer in Hobart are far shorter than the ones 2300 miles away in Darwin! That's like comparing the weather in London to Cairo.
