Australia's Record Heat & Cool Blast: A Wild Weather Week

South-east Australia experiences unprecedented heatwave, with temperatures soaring over ten degrees above average, smashing records in major cities. A blocking high pressure system traps tropical air and blocks cold fronts, causing warm northerlies to stick around. A cool change is on the way, bringing gusty winds, showers, and storms, with a risk of severe gusts or flash floods around Melbourne. Drought fuels fire risks, with out-of-season blazes sparked in Tasmania and New South Wales. A polar blast from Antarctica is expected to dive temperatures fifteen degrees in days, with snow possibly falling low in ranges even central New South Wales, plus hail and thunderstorms before things ease to typical cool late autumn by next weekend.
