Australia’s south and east have seen freezing temperatures and wild weather this winter. At the same time, the continent as a whole – and the globe – have continued to warm. 

What’s going on? As ever, it’s hard to pinpoint a single cause for weather events. But a key player is likely an event unfolding high above Antarctica, which itself may have been triggered by a heatwave at surface level on the frozen continent.

Here’s what’s happening – and what it might mean for the rest of this year’s weather.

Humidity levels have been creeping higher since Saturday and we are going to be back in the soup for today as well as the week ahead. We will also be dealing with a series of waves moving around the Bermuda high. It is building into the Southeastern US. A southwest flow aloft is bringing up ripples in the flow. It will not be raining all the time but there will be some downpours and a few heavier thunderstorms to deal with during the week ahead.

The scorching heat is expected to continue through the end of an already sweltering summer, according to NOAA’s latest climate forecast for August 2024.

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center issued its 30-day outlook for August – the final full month of summer – and it looks like Americans are in for much of the same above-average heat that has dominated this summer so far. 

The outlook also shows that an active Atlantic hurricane season and the ongoing Southwest Monsoon are expected to contribute to above-average rainfall for parts of the US.
