More heatwaves are foreseen for Australia as the weather there is expected to becoming hotter than normal. The reason for this heatwave can be attributed to the climatic changes that push up land and sea temperatures.
Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) along with national science body CSIRO claims that the country was already witnessing extremely hot days and has also seen severe fire seasons. Temperatures will however keep on scaling up.
In fact, as per the meteorologists, the temperatures in Australia are likely to increase over the coming decades. Very fewer cooler days along with most of the warm days are projected for the country.
The ocean temperatures along with the land temperatures as well increase and if the reports are to be trusted, Deep Ocean is also impacted as the warm weather is reported to now reach approximately 2,000 meters below the sea surface as well.
The country has already witnessed record- breaking three warmest springs between the years 2013-15. Moreover, springs that usually fall between the months of September and November are the time when the temperatures generally witness a drop along with some rainfall.
The changing weather conditions and increased heatwaves have been making an impact on the Australians. The reason for such a change in the climatic conditions in Australia can be well attributed to the greenhouse gases that includes carbon dioxide, keeping heat in Earth’s lower atmosphere.
However, if the experts are to be trusted, the carbon dioxide levels this year is expected to reach on an average of 400 ppm (parts per million) which is probably the highest in two million years.
The country has already warmed up by approximately 1.0 degree Celsius since 1910. Most of the days usually record temperatures more than 35°C in the recent decades barring northern Australia. Moreover, Australian heatwaves are considered hotter and longer.
There has been a deduction in the rainfall by 19 percent from the month of May to July in southwestern Australia since 1970.
