Wild Weather Heats Up Australia - Blair Trewin

Australia spent much of January in a record-smashing heat wave that saw the national average temperature above 100 degrees Farenheit for the first time ever. The temperatures were so out of the ordinary that the country had to add new colors to its heat maps. Blair Trewin a climatologist with the Australian Bureau of Meterology said that despite the heat, there were flash floods on the country's Pacific Coast while bush fires and high winds threatened Tasmania's biggest city.
