Aussie Summer has been hot but..

This map shows that 2017 has been hot but not unusual . It should be noted that this graph does not include data from the 1896 heat wave when temperatures topped 50 degrees. This is because it was removed from the BOM record because the data was "unreliable" not because as some cynics would think that it made a nonsense of global warming's "unprecedented warming". It should be noted that over 200 people died in the 1896 heat wave attesting to it's severity.
