2013-01-08 - Nationwide Average Temperatures Reach Record High in Australia

January 8

Nationwide average temperatures in Australia hit 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) on January 8, and the mean national temperature climbed to the highest in history breaking a record set just the day before on January 7, reported the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.  The record prompted meteorologists at the bureau to take the extraordinary step of adding two new colors to its temperature charts to extend their range to 129 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) from the previous cap of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).
