When Aboriginal people use fire to manage country they consider a plethora of parameters. Read why cool fires are key and why the canopy is sacred.

Saturday is looking like a disaster -  the worst day of them all. Fire everywhere now on top of the extreme forecast. Record Jan temperatures possible across a narrowish area of the inner south-east. That includes Canberra ( forecast max 42c - record 41.6 ) and across the Snowy Mountains.

Almost all the destructive fires burning right now were started by lightning. If a firebug has been arrested for starting a fire, that doesn't imply that fire is running out of control or has destroyed lives or property. But I share your sentiment.

Well, according to one of LBC's regular 'contributors', the problems in Australia have nothing to do with Climate Change --- they are, he opined, God's punishment for the country permitting a gay bar to open in Sydney!!!:oldangry:

And hearing that made me so angry, I still haven't fully recovered from it!:wallbash:

I have never tuned into LBC (thankfully). I do, however, occasionally listen to the disgraceful and biased BBC.

Saturday's temperatures

2071420075_January4.thumb.png.ff5865997a4fd790cd1a7f924d6db0b2.png

Hottest day of the summer across New South Wales. 48.9c at Penrith Lakes on the western fringe of Sydney is highest temperature ever recorded in the Sydney Basin. Previous record was 47.7c at Richmond in Sydney's west in 1939. It was 47.4c at Richmond today. Six stations in the broader Sydney area 47.0c+. The city weather station had a seabreeze. Canberra 44.0c breaks January record by +2.4 and all-time record by +1.8 ( records since 1939 ). Biggest concentration of records appear to be in the state's south nearer to the Victoria border. The above colour gradient map is from Meteye based on predicted temperature but 45-48c was more widespread than graphic appears to indicate. This evening, big bushfire flareups happening with strong winds behind the cool change working itself north.

There are still loads of these utter cretins running around, spouting their bile. 
 

Feel so sorry for all those affected by the fires, it’s a dreadful time for Australia. Luckily, our family and friends have escaped unscathed, though the in-laws in Port Maquarie had a very close call.

I am in Melbourne this week. It is 13c and smoky at 10am on Monday with light rain. Light rain is also falling over the fires in the north-east part of the state.. Rain being assisted by moisture streaming down from a developing cyclone in north-west Australia.  With a bit of luck moisture stream and cloud will cool the continent to normal levels over the next couple of weeks and trough development in the east will be more active. The next two weeks...no intense heat looms for Australia's south and east at the moment,  so that's good news.

Yesterday a new provisional all-time record one day rainfaill for Northern Territory was set, near Darwin:

11860338-16x9-700x394.jpg
WWW.ABC.NET.AU

An island off the coast of Darwin is hammered with 562mm of rain in 24 hours, potentially breaking the Northern Territory's daily rainfall record.

From Ogimet, 14 inches of rain in 6 hours and 22 inches in 24 hours yesterday. Now if only they could have had most of that down south to kill the fires!

What a pretty chart. Top End monsoon - late as it was - feeds into east coast trough. Bushfires will be heavily subdued.

Plenty of thunderstorms are expected to hit eastern parts of Australia late this week into next week, producing lots of rain. Some good news!

Lots of rain and storms last week in New South Wales. Apologies for not being more precise when I added the fire zone area to the maps ( it's a rough interpretation off the official maps from the fire services ). Many of the north-east fires in New South Wales have been extinguished but they haven't been causing problems for many weeks. The 'mega-fire' line to the west of Sydney is suppressed and the recent severe fires in the southern corner of NSW appear to be heavily contained. There are no warnings for communities in New South Wales as of today.  In Victoria less rain last week. There are still warnings and uncontrolled blazes happening as of today but in remote areas in the north-east.

More rain and storms coming this week mainly for New South Wales. Monthly rainfall averages for January are quite variable - but  generally range from about 100-150mm along the coast to about 50mm slightly inland near Canberra.
