Australia Bushfire Season 2019-20 (Weather)

The hot windy weather (42C + 60 kph winds) passed across South Australia and Victoria in the last two days. Interesting contrast to NSW in that the situation was relatively well contained in the southern states. This is probably due to greater experience of dealing with these conditions in the south. Pity that fire knowledge is so hard to pass onto the northern neighbours - no doubt state rivalry plays a part in that.

As it was, these fires heralded the start of the fire season in the south as the heat moves down.

Conditions in NSW and SE Qld remain in a holding pattern - hot weather but thankfully without the big winds just seen in the south. Really just waiting for the rains to come and put them out - hoping this happens before another hot windy day does come.
