Thats not strictly true the summer of 2012–2013, resulted in 123 weather records being broken over a 90-day period, including the hottest day ever recorded for January on record, the hottest summer average on record, and a record seven days in a row when the whole country averaged above 39 °C (102 °F). Single-day temperature records were broken in dozens of towns and cities, as well as single-day rainfall records, and several rivers flooded to new record highs.They've had an unprecedentedly dry spring, the driest in 120 years, followed by the hottest summer in history.
I live on Queenslands gold coast and so far we've had quite a cool summer, your right about the Victorian S.E. though, they've had it hot and dry for a long period.
