What a day in Australia! Classic north-westerly phenomenon reaching all the way down to Melbourne with temperatures above 40°C! Also a couple of tropical storms north-east of Australia as we speak. New Zealand remains moderated and cool.

Below average all throughout coastal Southern Argentina today and as predicted, Ushuaia befell the worst fate, with a 9°C temp during the afternoon in its warmest month...
