Daytime temperatures are nudging 30 degrees in Kalgoorlie now (late August). It never hit 30 before October in Victoria and generally not until November.

I can’t recall it being this warm in Kalgoorlie so early last year, so it appears to be shaping for a hot summer.

We never had a sub-zero temperature in winter this year either, which is also unusual. June and July were pretty mild, I thought.
