Last week we had 3 days of 43˚+ [110˚F] which dried out everything that hadn’t already been dried out by our 12 year drought. On Saturday the temperature reached 47˚C [~115˚F] and the winds were as fierce as I’ve ever seen. The perfect recipe for bushfires.
The fires at the moment have destroyed around 250,000 hectares [about 620,000 acres or 1,000 sq miles] and has destroyed entire towns. 750 homes have been lost.
