As we move into the cooler months, many of us have likely noticed the warmth still lingering in the air. Even now, in May, Australia is experiencing unusually high temperatures and dry conditions across much of the southern half of the country. A recent article titled “It’s almost winter. Why is Australia still so hot?” shed light on this phenomenon—explaining how persistent atmospheric patterns and the clear signals of human-caused climate change are influencing our seasons more than ever.
We find this a sobering but important reminder. The article points to record-breaking warmth in parts of Victoria and Tasmania, and even heat-stressed oceans around our coastlines. These changes are not distant or abstract—they are happening here and now, and they affect the ecosystems we rely on, the food we grow, and the rhythms of daily life.
At Nurtureland, our mission has always been to live more harmoniously with nature—to learn from it, care for it, and in turn, let it care for us. This unusual weather reinforces why our collective choices matter. Embracing a plant-based lifestyle, reducing our footprint, and educating our children with environmental awareness are no longer just good ideas—they are necessary.
We encourage you to read the article, reflect with your families, and think about what small steps we can take together. The earth is speaking; may we continue to listen, respond with care, and walk gently on this shared path.
