Australia and Climate change
Heatwaves, heavy rainfalls that cause massive floods and wildfires (sometimes called bushfires by locals), are some of the main features of climate change affecting Australia. Heatwaves cause excess moisture to be absorbed into the atmosphere, and occasionally this influences the development of intense rainfalls and floods. Excess heat also contributes to extremely dry vegetation conditions that usually set the stage for massive wildfires to occur.
Australia experiences frequent episodes of intense heatwaves. As stated by
