The year 2014 in Australia is likely the world’s

hottest year on record, after the country made

it through their second hottest November.

According to the Australian Bureau of

Meteorology, temperatures in the country will

continue to soar, with high temperatures

becoming a part of an ongoing trend around the

world.

Experts derive Australia’s average seasonal

temperature by averaging the data from

weather stations, where records go back as far

as 1910. They then compare the figure with the

long-term average temperature.Spring 2014 in

Australia recorded an average temperature of

24 degrees Celsius, which exceeded the mean

by 1.5 degrees Celsius. That is the largest

seasonal departure the country has ever had.

Warmer Temperatures in Australia and

Around the World

According to the data, Australia has also been

experiencing temperature increases of about

0.9 degrees Celsius ever since 1910. This

means Australians might experience warmer

temperatures in their homes year after year.

This long stretch of warm weather happens in

accordance with warmer temperatures around

the world. Experts say it is because of climate

change. El Nino conditions continue to in the

Pacific Ocean, and the warm temperatures of

the ocean are heightening the drought in

Australia.

Reduction of Exterior Surface Temperature

in Homes

Experts are calling for Australian homeowners

to reduce the effect by insulating, caulking, and

weather stripping their homes, as well as

applying a certain type of coating in their roofs.

Some tint formulation technologies, according

to experts, significantly reduce the exterior

surface temperature in homes. Some can even

reduce outdoor surface temperatures by up to 5

degrees Celsius.

With the increasingly warm and uncomfortable

temperatures in the country, experts also give a

piece of advice to Australian homeowners to

equip their homes and roofs with a restoration,

since the extreme heat rapidly weakens roofing

materials. They also advise homeowners to put

more effort on insulation, caulking, and weather

stripping to protect the home and their families

against the harmful rays of the Australian sun.
