Nothing to do with Climate Change!
Here is a perfectly reasonable scientic explanation ...
The extraordinary heatwave has been partly driven by natural factors – the strongest Indian Ocean dipole event on record that has dragged moisture away from the continent, and atmospheric warming above Antarctica known as SAM (The Southern Annular Mode, or SAM , is a climate driver that can influence rainfall and temperature in Australia. The SAM refers to the (non-seasonal) north-south movement of the strong westerly winds that blow almost continuously in the mid- to high-latitudes of the southern hemisphere), which heated up the areas worst affected by fire along the east coast.
