In the Northern Hemisphere, the news of snow falls in many parts of China, while Australia in the Southern Hemisphere is in the middle of the summer heat.
Australia`s meteorological research and forecasting agency, Weatherzone, reports hot and hot weather in Australia this weekend, especially in the southern part of the country. How hot is it? Meteorologists say it could be as high as 45 degrees Celsius.
At the same time, forest fires caused by the weather are mainly concentrated in South Australia and Victoria, the worst forest fire weather conditions in two years.
This weekend, northwest winds carried hot, dry air that swept through much of south Australia, creating extreme heat waves and a high-risk warning of forest fires.
Weatherzone meteorologists said the effects of wind speed, temperature and humidity could create the most dangerous conditions of forest fire since Black Saturday 2009. No one will forget that 173 Australians were killed and 414 injured in the 2009 fire.
This time, the central and eastern parts of South Australia, the western region of Victoria, bear the brunt. On Saturday, temperatures in these areas will be as high as 40 degrees, or even 45 degrees, humidity is less than 10 percent, and wind winds will exceed 60 kilometers an hour, so they have been closely monitored by the authorities.
South Australia has now issued a "disaster-type" warning for heat waves this weekend, and Victoria has issued a "red alert" that represents the highest levels of forest fire risk in both states.
For Sydney, the new state capital, temperatures are below 30 degrees, with 31 degrees on Saturday and 38 degrees on Sunday. New state police warned residents to prepare for summer cooling.
Melbourne`s temperatures will hit 41 degrees on Saturday, but on Sunday it will drop 20 degrees to 21 degrees, with the possibility of rain, a double day of ice and fire.
Brisbane has a sunny weekend with temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees. Perth had 29 degrees on Saturday and 31 on Sunday. It was windy. Adelaide`s temperatures hit 41 degrees on Saturday and plummeted to 26 degrees on Sunday.
