which breached 40 deg C, could be considered normal by 2060 and even cool by 2100, according to the country’s national weather service, as the definition of what’s normal changes in a rapidly warming planet.

The climate will continue to warm through the coming century, “no matter what we do,” Mr Kendon told reporters during a briefing on Tuesday. “We are locked into the fact that our climate is changing,” he said. “It’s just how much worse it’s going to be and that depends on what scenario we follow.”Last year was one of the least snowy years on record compared to the past 60 years
