"Exceptionally high November temperatures have roasted Israel in recent days, breaking records for late November. During the heatwave, which peaked over Friday and Saturday, temperatures soared to between 10C and 12C above average, as low-lying parts of the country widely reached between 30C and 35C and exceeded 35C more locally. Israel's previous record for the latter third of November was 34.9C. On Friday, temperatures reached 36.2C in Beit Dagan, near Tel Aviv, where the average November high is around 24C,"
"In Vietnam, the rainy season reached extreme levels in south-central parts of the country over the last week, with relentless downpours delivering nearly 2 metres of rainfall to some areas around the annual average for the region. This caused flooding and landslides, leaving hundreds of thousands of buildings destroyed, damaged or without power, while river levels swelled to record highs, with strong currents sweeping away a suspension bridge over the Da Nhim River."
"In Western Australia, the northernmost region of Kimberly is braced for the landfall of severe Tropical Cyclone Fina on Monday. After developing in the Timor Sea last week, Fina meandered south-west along the coast of the Northern Territory, passing Darwin on Saturday at a strength equivalent to a category 2 hurricane. Winds in the city exceeded 85mph, damaging trees, houses and power lines, while 168mm of rain was recorded at Darwin airport."
Exceptionally high November temperatures reached 10–12°C above average across Israel, with low-lying areas widely 30–35°C and local peaks exceeding 35°C. Beit Dagan recorded 36.2°C and Eilat peaked at 37.3°C, while Jerusalem reached around 27°C despite its altitude. South-central Vietnam received nearly two metres of rain in a week, causing widespread flooding, landslides, destroyed and damaged buildings, power outages, and record river levels that swept away a suspension bridge. Estimated agricultural losses include three million animals and 80,000 hectares of crops, with at least 90 people reported dead. Tropical Cyclone Fina intensified after passing Darwin, producing damaging winds and heavy rainfall.
