Distinct regions are seeing repeated heat waves so extreme, they cannot be explained by climate models.

    I feel like the big one in western Australia is pretty easily explained … that’s a big ole desert and we are moving in to summer …

      Not sure how serious this comment is but these are anomalies against expected behaviour from models. These models include historical data with the addition of how we expect the changes we are making to impact it with the best knowledge we have of how the systems work.

      So its not saying its surprising that Australia is hot this time of year it’s saying it markedly hotter than we expect or can explain using everything we understand about the climate.
