With NZ in a stay-at-home lockdown order we thought it might be a good distraction to focus on extreme weather around the globe as of right now: Wednesday August 18 (or Tuesday August 17 for North America).

In this special video today we cover:

• Hotter than usual weather in America and Canada
• Four tropical storms in the North America area
• Wildfires burning across Canada and America
• A potential typhoon for Taiwan and the northern Philippines
• Current thunderstorms across North America, NZ and Australia
• Lowest and highest air pressure systems on earth today
  
  
  Ya know, just your usual mid-week weather video!
