The latest bushfire outlook indicates a heightened risk across large areas of Australia, particularly in Victoria, New South Wales, and various regions of Western Australia.
This summer's forecast aligns with a worrying trend of declining rainfall and warming temperatures, marking the third hottest period on record since 1910, thereby intensifying fire risks.
Rick Nugent emphasized the early start to Victoria's bushfire season, noting over 150 fires already, driven by dry conditions and record-high temperatures this winter.
The Bureau of Meteorology highlighted a continuous trend of dry, warm winters contributing to fuel accumulation, making it critical to remain vigilant as temperatures rise.
