"All-time temperature records could tumble in Victoria and New South Wales over
coming days, as a dome of intense heat pushes into south-east Australia,
bringing extreme to catastrophic fire conditions.
Starting Saturday, the Bureau of Meteorology has forecast a prolonged period of
intense heat across South Australia, Victoria, NSW and southern Queensland.
Some inland areas could experience more than five days above 40C.
The heat would be “challenging for everyone”, the senior meteorologist Jonathan
How said. He reminded people to stay cool and up to date with heat and fire
warnings.
High to extreme fire danger was expected across several southern states, with
catastrophic fire danger forecast for the Yorke and eastern Eyre Peninsula in
South Australia on Saturday.
Fires were still burning in many parts of Victoria after an intense heatwave
earlier in January, which analysts said was made five times more likely due to
global heating."
