Sydney reported the warmest winter since records began

The article reports that Australia experienced its warmest winter since records began in 1910, with states like Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania recording temperatures 1.45 degrees above the average from 1961–1990. This marks the third-highest temperature anomaly for this season. In Sydney, temperatures were nearly spring-like, averaging 15.3°C. Climate scientist Simon Grainger attributes these conditions to the strengthening El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to peak in late spring or summer. The unusual warmth has impacted ecosystems, wildlife, and tourism, with ski resorts in Victoria and New South Wales closing earlier due to insufficient snowfall.
