Probably the same as it is now.
I have a late 1980s video tape of James Burke, the popular British science presenter, showing how by the late 1990s Indonesia would have grown so hot due to "global warming" that unstoppable numbers of migrants would be forced to flood the beaches of northern Australia.
It never happened. Now, yet another ten years after, it still hasn't happened, and there's no perceptible change in the climate of Indonesia (alleged holes in Arctic polar ice notwithstanding).
It would mean easy money for me to take any bets you care to offer that in five years Australia's climate will be much the same as today.

A little tricky to answer. meteorologists (people who study weather) can do nothing more than guess about long term weather patterns. Due to the current trend of warming, chances are it might be slightly warmer than it is now, but it may not be. Unfortunately, this is question is about as easy to answer as predicting who will win the super bowl in five years. We can all guess, but nobody can know

About 1-2 degree Celsius higher than what it is now.
