♨️ Australian Heat Wave
A 'severe' to 'extreme' heat wave is underway, with highs of 41–46.7°C (106–116°F) — running 15–16°C (27–29°F) above average for early-mid January.
Human-caused climate change is making dangerous heat like this not only more likely but more intense.

With a Kona low north of the islands, rain & flood concerns are steadily starting to taper off across Hawaii Tuesday.
While this rain is helpful to ease drought, climate change adds a fingerprint by making heavy rainfall more intense.
