My previous post was about the Australian tennis Open. Unfortunately, it's likely to be played under very warm conditions. Australia is having a heat wave. This is from January 9, three days ago, but there is no sign of the heat letting up anytime soon.
Australia’s 2014 Heat Wave Picks Up Where 2013 Left Off
"In Gunnedah Research Center, located 265 miles northeast of Sydney, temperatures rose to 114.6°F. That topped the previous high by 5°F. The station has records going back 76 years and is part of Australia’s long-term climate network. Overall, 34 locations across the country with 40 years or more of data had their hottest day on record."NASA's Earth Observatory Web site has an image of temperature anomalies for this current heat wave.
It's particularly acute on the eastern side.
