But checking various Jan Mean Max’s across Oz shows a lot of places missed out.
Adelaide no record West Terrace 33 but 34.2 in 1908
Perth coolest for a decade –
Kalgoorlie had an 11 day data gap in Jan. too unimportant to repair.
Leonora Aero hit 39.3 but started life in 2008 with 39.4 – Leonora 12046 hit 40.4 in 1956 – 40.2 in 1957 and 41.1 in 1959.
Warburton Airfield scored 40.9 last month but hit 42.1 in 1979.
Marble Bar 4106 hit 43.7 but saw 44.6 in 2005 Marble Bar Comp 4020 also hit 44.6 in 2005 but saw 44.4 in 1910 and 1922 and 44.2 in 1929 and 44 in 1930.
Sydney 29.6 equal with record in 2017 in centre largest Australian UHI
Bourke Aero hit 42.6 a record but Bourke Post Office read 43.4 in 1896.
Melbourne Olympic Park 28.4 but the now closed Regional Office was 30.6 in 2015, 28.6 in 2014, 2009, too many others to list but 31 in 1908.
Canberra 34.5 but Queanbeyan Bowling Club had Jan Mean max 34.2 in 1932 so I think with Canberra suburbs UHI and the explosion in Airport urbanization this century the BoM claim for Canberra 2019 is dodgy.
Darwin Airport hit 32.7 vs record 33.4 1970 – but the Post Office saw 34.9 in 1892
Tennant Creek Airport was 41.6 vs a record 40.4
Alice Springs Airport was 41.5 vs a record 40 but the Post Office was 40.7 in 1887
Brisbane saw 31.9 but the Regional Office was 32.3 in 1903.
Longreach Aero made 39 but has a record of 39.9 in 2013 and 1992 – the Post Office hit 41.4 in 1947 and 40.8 in 1902.
Hobart hit 26.1 which was a record since 25 in 2003. But at Botanic Gardens it was 27 in 1841 but possibly thermometer may not have been in a BoM approved enclosure.
