Annual mean temperature anomalies for Australia (compared with 1961–1990 average)

Notes:
Ranks are given from 1 (highest) to 106 (lowest) for temperature, and cover the period from 1910 to 2015 (106 years) for Australian land surface air temperatures; for sea surface temperatures ranks are from 1 (highest) to 116 (lowest) and for rainfall and sea surface temperatures ranks are from 1 (lowest) to 116 (highest), both rainfall and sea surface temperatures cover the period from 1900 to 2015 (116 years). Anomalies are from a 1961–1990 base period. Ranks with = indicate a tie for that position.
