    @Dave R; the closer you are to the Equator, the deeper is the troposphere into which solar radiation penetrates and is trapped [8klms over the Poles and 20kms over the Equator].

    What we're seeing due to global warming is the boiling pot principle at work - low heat and you get ripples, high heat and the boiling water bubbles over the edges as outbreaks to adjacent surfaces.

    The troposphere's pressure cells are intensifying and armed with greater stores of energy now travel further and create greater weather variations over the ares they travel to.

    We're now seeing regions as far north as the Arctic Circle impacted by 'heat domes' while the further south you travel from Cairns the more likely it is you'll see events such as the 2019-20 bushfires.

    Sadly, we've pontificated for too long and many countries are now going to experience wipe-out events in which fauna and flora die and crucial infrastructure such as transformers fail or explode.
