It’s So Hot In Australia, They’ve Added A New Color To Maps
January 8, 2013
Global warming is turning the volume of extreme weather up, Spinal-Tap-style, to 11. The temperature forecast for
next Monday by Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology is so unprecedented —
over 52C – (around 125 degrees Fahrenheit) that it has had to add a new
colour to the top of its scale, a suitably incandescent purple. Australia’s
highest recorded temperature is 50.7C (123.3F), set in January 1960 in
South Australia. The record for the hottest average day across the
nation was set on Monday, at 40.3C, exceeding a 40-year-old record.
“What makes this event quite exceptional is how widespread and intense
it’s been,” said Aaron Coutts-Smith, the weather bureau’s climate
services manager. “We have been breaking records across all states and
territories in Australia over the course of the event so far.” Wildfires
are raging across New South Wales and Tasmania. More
