Several states across Australia‘s south-east will be on alert tomorrow as hot and windy conditions trigger increased fire danger after the driest January in 19 years.
Firefighters in South Australia will be on alert in parts of the west coast, Yorke Peninsula and the Mount Lofty Ranges where there is extreme fire danger tomorrow.

“The Mount Lofty Ranges takes in the Fleurieu Peninsula, where we saw a signficant fire start last night,” Bureau of Meteorology meteorologist Christie Johnson said.

“We also have some of these high fire danger areas that are very close to the threshold for extreme fire danger and that includes regions such as the Murraylands and the upper south-east.”

Parts of Victoria will also be under an extreme fire danger rating tomorrow.

”Over in Victoria, extreme fire danger mostly through central parts, particularly the Central District and this includes area, and also the North Central District.

“We also have some other districts that are very close to the threshold for extreme, including the Wimmera and the West and South Gippsland District.”

There will be high fire danger across Tasmania tomorrow, except for in the north-west.

“However our latest modelling suggests it could actually be even worse than this tomorrow and we’re now expecting high fire danger right across the state, reaching extreme fire danger through the east coast and the Midlands district.”

The fire danger comes as south-eastern Australia recorded its driest January since 2009.
Weatherzone reports it was also the region’s second driest start to the year since 1965, with January rainfall down by 23.14mm, when averaged across all official weather stations in the region.
