Here in the Northeastern US, weather patterns seems to shift forward. It stays hot till October. Even November might have a few summer-like warm days. And "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" is ironic since there was snow on Christmas only 2-3 times out of last 10 years or so. Snow comes in mid-January
This 100% tracks with my experience in the northeast US. It wasn’t like this when I was a kid in the 90s. Having a “white Christmas” wasn’t common, but it did happen sometimes.
Nowadays Christmas tends to average around 50°F/10°C where I am. If there’s snow before January, it’s a brief flurry that either doesn’t stick or changes into rain. My nephews have never known a snowy Christmas.
You're not alone. Here in Europe we have the same. We used to get snow every winter where I live but now we just get rain. It's either freezing cold with sunny weather or 5° and rain.
What part of Australia are you in? It's been a tremendously cold winter down south. I have coworkers in multiple states and we've all been commenting on how insanely cold it's been this year

Tuvalu, unsurprisingly

Meanwhile winter is disappearing in Australia. It didn't get really cold this year like it usually does. I expect winter to completely disappear soon.
Rain has been underwhelming too.

I guess Diego Garcia wasn't ever really a country, nor was it due to climate change. This is what happens when you don't have a flag.
