Not only did Albury-Wodonga swelter through the last three months, reaching a height of 46.1 degrees on January 4, it brought with it some of the worst fires the wider region has ever experienced.
Today, the last day of summer, is expected to be sunny and reach a top of 31 degrees, which is in complete contrast to the first day of summer in Albury only reaching 15.8 degrees on December 1.

Across the three months Albury received 60.6 milimetres of rain, with December receiving the least with just 12.4 milimetres.
