- Summary:
-
"Our changing climate - bringing rising average temperatures, more hot days and less rainfall - means bushfire risk is constantly increasing as fuels dry out and extreme fire weather events increase. Bushfires with the worst consequences typically occur during extreme weather conditions (such as during very hot, dry and windy periods). The disastrous 2019-20 bushfire season, followed periods where parts of Eastern Australia - extending from Tasmania through Victoria, New South Wales and into Queensland - had experienced their driest conditions on record. Over 1.5 million hectares (ha) in Victoria were burnt and large areas of eastern Australia impacted."--Introduction.
