Some of the country may be bracing for wild weather and according the World Meteorological Organisation, that extreme weather is becoming more common.
The WMO state of the climate has been released confirming that 2017 will be in the top three hottest years on record. The two other hottest years? 2015 and 2016. So it seems the world is getting warmer.
Experts like Victoria University Professor James Renwick says this news isn't unexpected but it is worrying, especially after a year of major flooding and storms.
