COCOS ISLANDS again !

The Tiny Australian territory in the Indian Ocean yesterday rose to 31.0C, tying its record of August hottest day which was set just last year.

Cocos Islands have broken the heat records of all 12 months of the year in the past months.
Unstoppable.

On West Island, Cocos group, Australia is extending the 2441m runway by 150m at $560m, for Boeing P-8 Poseidon surveillance planes capable of anti-submarine warfare, by 2026. #auspol #cocosislands

Two remote islands with a common purpose

After a decades-long fight, Prime Minister Starmer in late May gave up Britain’s possession of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean, while Australia keeps the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, our most distant Indian Ocean territory. The United States military has continuing use of both.

For the *10th* month this year, the Cocos Islands set a new monthly Tmax and/or Tmin record with an insane 33.2c Tmax on 3rd & 33.1c on 4th.

If confirmed, this surpasses the 2015, 2017, 2024 *all-time* record by 0.4c! Also smashes the oldest surviving Tmax monthly record from 1972 by 1c!

Weak lows are forming southeast of #DiegoGarcia & near the #CocosIslands with a good chance for a cyclone this weekend or early next week. Also watching for tropical development off northwest #Australia next week.
