Once upon a time, Australia had a very, very warm spring, warmer than all the springs before! It was so warm, like the whole country had put on a cozy blanket. Imagine the sun shining brighter and everything feeling hotter by 2 big steps above what was usual long ago before even your grandparents were kids.
Everyone in Australia felt the heat, and it was like having summer start early. Trees, animals, and even the raindrops felt the warmth. The land got so much rain in some places, turning everything green and full of life. And guess what? The sea around Australia was like a warm bath, making the air even warmer.
Then, as the story goes, another super warm wave came, hugging Australia from west to east. Some places might even get as hot as the hottest summer days, making it a perfect time for ice-creams but needing lots of water to stay cool.
But here’s a secret – the warm sea and all this heat meant that there would be more rain and thunderstorms, making big splashes and loud noises in the sky. And with all this extra rain, rivers got fuller, and the land got a big drink, which was good for the plants and animals.
And the moral to the story? When the world gets warmer, it changes how we experience the seasons, bringing surprises and reminding us to take care of our planet. 🌞🌧️🌍
