根据莫纳什大学气候科学家安德鲁·沃特金斯的说法,澳大利亚2025-26年夏天出现了创纪录的高温,野火和洪水迅速发生,这表明该国气候有根本性的变化. Australia's 2025-26 summer saw record heat, wildfires, and flash flooding in rapid succession, signaling a fundamental shift in the country’s climate, according to Monash University climate scientist Andrew Watkins. 尽管拉尼娜现象持续,但东南州的气温超过40°C,这与急诊病例增加25%有关. Despite a La Niña pattern, southeastern states experienced temperatures over 40°C, linked to a 25% rise in emergency hospital admissions. 维多利亚的奥特威斯地区居民因火灾而被疏散,几天后面临严重洪水, In Victoria’s Otways, residents evacuated due to fires, then faced severe flooding days later, with cars washed into the sea. 昆士兰和北领地出现了极端降雨,有些地区仅几天就能获得一年的雨水. Queensland and the Northern Territory saw extreme rainfall, with some areas receiving a year’s worth of rain in days. 沃特金斯将这种情况描述为"极端气候冲击",强调曾经被认为罕见的极端事件现在已经成为常规,压倒紧急服务和基础设施. Watkins described the pattern as “breakneck climate whiplash,” stressing that extreme events once considered rare are now routine, overwhelming emergency services and infrastructure.
