Mean anomaly tempertures (which takes in both Maximums & Minimums anomalies together) for Australia from Jan 1st to June 30th 2012... Most of Australia has been cooler than normal for the first half of 2012. June followed the same pattern of May of cooler than normal temps despite La Nina well and truly ending 3 months ago and some talk of a weak El Nino developing as we speak so seems to be other factors at play here.
