Climate change is one reason many parts of NSW experienced the warmest May on record, Weatherzone says.
The commercial weather information provider said average temperatures for the month of May were the warmest on record.
Sydney's May average of 23 degrees was well above the long-term norm of 19 degrees, making it the mildest May since 1958.
"It can be put down to a lack of significant cold changes but it is also a sign of climate change that we are now seeing unfold across Australia," Weatherzone meteorologist Matt Pearce said in a statement.
"This is consistent with the trend towards warmer temperatures globally that we have seen in the last decade."
Cold nights this week prevented temperature records being set in Sydney with the mercury dropping to as low as eight degrees on Wednesday night.
In terms of rain, a substantial band of storms blanketed most of the state on May 18, bringing 94mm to Tibooburra.
It was the wettest May for the north-west town in 118 years of records.
Sydney recorded only 10mm of rain last month - far short of the normal 123mm, making it the driest May since 2004.'

Na weken droogte is er eindelijk regen. Ons Belgenlandje is daar ook nogal goed in, maar 2 volle dagen en nachten hevige regen, dat gebeurt in België zelfs niet zo dikwijls... En het is nog niet gedaan, zegt men. Maar de mensen hier en vooral ook de landbouwers zijn heel blij met wat regen. De prijzen van groenten en fruit zijn immers heel erg gestegen door de aanhoudende droogte en veel gewassen werden bedreigd.
Intussen zijn enkele grote vrachtschepen vastgelopen langs de kust en bij één ervan, een olietanker, wordt zelfs gevreesd dat het gaat breken, met alle milieugevolgen van dien... hout vasthouden.
Voor de rest alles kits.
P.S. aan iedere stemgerechtigde lezer: GOED stemmen he! Het is ons jammer genoeg niet gegund, wegens uitgeschreven uit de gemeente en te laat ingeschreven om via de ambassade te stemmen (dat moest al in februari!!!!). Leven wij niet in het internettijdperk, stemmen via cyberspace, dat moet toch kunnen???
Well done Luna!!
