A cauldron of extreme heat developing in Western Australia is heading straight for the east coast bushfire zone
A cauldron of extreme heat developing in WA is heading straight for the east coast bushfire zone, ABC News, By Irena Ceranic 15 Nov 19, A build-up of intense heat that will see temperatures in WA soar into the mid 40s this weekend will be dragged across the country next week, right into parts of New South Wales and Queensland devastated by bushfires this week.
Key points:
- Four lives and hundreds of homes have been lost in NSW and Queensland fires
- Milder temperatures should provide some relief for NSW in the coming days
- But intense heat from WA is likely to be dragged across the country next week
The NSW and Queensland bushfires have already burnt through more than a million hectares of land, killing four people and destroying more than 300 homes.
Bureau of Meteorology spokesman Neil Bennett said milder temperatures were expected to provide some relief to parts of NSW where fires continue to burn over the next few days, but the bushfire threat was far from over with the heat expected to ramp up again.
The areas in dark red on the map below [on original] show parts of WA will bake in temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius over the weekend, before the hot air mass bears down on the east coast by Tuesday. ……. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-15/wa-hot-air-mass-will-head-to-the-east-coast-bushfire-zone/11705750
