Early heat wave is rolling over parts of Australia — - today

In Aus­tralia, the sum­mers have been warm above aver­age for years. This year it is extreme­ly hot in some regions with over 40 degrees at the begin­ning of sum­mer. The author­i­ties hope for a wet sum­mer and thus a low risk of for­est fires. An ear­ly heat wave is mak­ing peo­ple in east­ern Aus­tralia sweat. In the coastal metrop­o­lis of Syd­ney, tem­per­a­tures exceed­ed 40 degrees accord­ing to the BoM mete­o­ro­log­i­cal author­i­ty, in the inte­ri­or of the states of New South Wales, Queens­land and Vic­to­ria and in South Aus­tralia they reached 42 degrees. New South Wales author­i­ties warned of a high risk of bushfires.

Sum­mer in the south­ern hemi­sphere begins at the same time as win­ter in the north. In the “black sum­mer” of 2019/2020, dev­as­tat­ing bush fires on the fifth con­ti­nent dev­as­tat­ed more than twelve mil­lion hectares of land. More than 30 peo­ple and count­less ani­mals per­ished. Last Thurs­day, how­ev­er, the BoM fore­cast a rather wet sum­mer for this sea­son with a low­er risk of fire. Accord­ing to a study pub­lished in mid-Novem­ber, Aus­tralia is warm­ing more than the planet’s aver­age. In the sixth cli­mate report by the sci­ence agency Csiro and the BoM, it is said that the Aus­tralian cli­mate has warmed by an aver­age of 1.44 degrees Cel­sius since 1910. The length of the bush fire sea­son has been increas­ing since the 1950s.
