The weather forecast for this weekend in Australia shows an unbelievably hot continent, with temperatures at many inland places well over 110 F.  The forecast map posted here for February 11 shows that there is a large area of 45 C plus (that’s 113 F, folks) across the eastern half of the country.  While it is summer there, it’s still far above average in temperature, and the heat is expected to contribute to increases in drought and bushfires as well as heat-related injuries, especially in the urban areas.  You can read more about it at https://higginsstormchasing.com/welcome-hell-earth-australia/.
