Warm and humid May breaks records

13:47 AEST With the welcoming of a new month as well as a new season, we reminisce on the weather that made May so significant. In literally every far-reaching corner of the country, notable highs and lows in moisture and temperature were observed for as long as records have been around. At Sydney Airport, May 2024 was the most humid May since records began in 2005 (2.3ºC average dewpoint departure from temperature).
