Environmental, Campaign & Website News > Darwin has hottest July night on record
Darwin, capital of Australia's Northern Territory, had its hottest night since records began in 1941. On Sunday night the minimum temperature was 26.6 C (79.9 F), well above the July average of 19.2 C (66.6 F). The previous record for the hottest July night in Darwin was 25.1 C (77.2 F) on 9th July 1978. A blanket of cloud across the city on Sunday night prevented heat from escaping into the atmosphere after sunset, thus keeping the air temperature high. Warm air was also being drawn in from the east.
