CANBERRA Jordan Richards Color Rush Jersey , Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Australia has endured its hottest winter in history with temperatures up 2 degrees Celsius on average, a report has found.
The Hot and Dry: Australia's Weird Winter report, released by the Climate Council on Tuesday, found that the average maximum temperature in Australia from June through August was 0.3 degrees Celsius higher than the previous record Malcom Brown Color Rush Jersey , set in 2009.
In July alone, 72 records were broken for a region's highest-ever winter temperature including in Sydney which set a record of 26.5 Celsius.

It marks the 10th time since the year 2000 that Australia has set a new record for seasonal maximum temperatures; a trend Alexander said was set to continue.
"Unfortunately, Australia's winters are becoming much Deatrich Wise Jr. Color Rush Jersey , much warmer due to worsening climate change. As a result, this trend will continue as Australia's pollution levels continue to rise. Since 1990, 90 percent of Australian winters have been above average for maximum temperatures," he said.

"Australia must do its fair share in reducing pollution levels globally Antonio Garcia Color Rush Jersey , by moving away from ageing, expensive and polluting fossil fuel energy, and continuing to transition to clean, affordable and reliable renewable energy and storage technologies."

"The dry, warm winter conditions have led to approximately one-third of Australia having above normal bushfire conditions this bushfire season," Alexander said.

RIO DE JANEIRO， Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Santos coach Dorival Junior has confirmed the Brazilian club could make a bid to sign Manchester United and Germany international midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Speaking after his team's 2-0 defeat to Flamengo in Brazil's Serie A championship on Sunday， Dorival said he requested the club pursue the World Cup winner during a meeting with the Santos board.
"I told them [the board] that we should try to get a big name in world football， or at least send an invitation，" Dorival told reporters at the Maracana stadium. "It was just a recommendation. It would be like Botafogo's signing of Clarence Seedorf [in 2012]. It won't hurt us to try."
Schweinsteiger， 32， has fallen out of favor at Manchester United since the arrival of Jose Mourinho as manager in July.
Media reports have indicated the former Bayern Munich star could leave Old Trafford during the next European transfer window in January.
"We didn't only speak about Schweinsteiger but other players too，" Dorival said. "A player like that can obviously lift the level of the team， but he has to come with an objective and an appetite."
Some of the biggest names in Brazilian football have represented Santos， though the club has never signed a foreign player of Schweinsteiger's standing.
Santos' list of former players include three-time World Cup winner Pele as well as modern-day forwards Robinho and Neymar.
