The weather report

On the moon, lights shone from a small office. Gathered within the building were dozens of strange creatures quietly conversing among themselves. But when a door opened and a glowing humanoid walked in, the creatures became silent.
"Thank you for waiting." The humanoid began as he walked over to a wall where a map of the world hang. "I've received the schedule for this week." Pointing at a salamander near the front, the humanoid beckoned it forward. "Team One is on rain duty for the American northwest."
The salamander's tongue flicked out. "We're not well suited for that kind of weather." It said with a hiss.
The humanoid shook his head. "Management wants to shake things up. Team forty-three has been assigned a heatwave in New Zealand." The humanoid scanned the gathered creatures until he saw the frost giant that led team forty-three.
"The complete schedule is posted on the bulletin board. I want every team to do their best." Studying the skeptical faces of those gathered, the humanoid lifted his hands with a sigh.
"Just remember: if we mess up this week's weather, the humans will blame their local weatherman."
