Australia weather and fires: severe heatwave forecast to ‘worsen’ bushfire conditions
Extreme heat on weekend expected to hit South Australia, Victoria and NSW, increasing risk of bushfires
Difficult bushfire conditions in New South Wales are set to return over the coming days, with a forecast heatwave across south-eastern Australia and dry winds to re-elevate fire risk.
Two firefighters were killed and as many as 100 houses destroyed when bushfires ripped through NSW on Thursday and Saturday last week.
