Currently in half of Victoria!
to put in perspective the fire area in Victoria is larger than several European countries

Today at my place is around 40c ( 110F ) which should cool off around 5pm this arvo.

Thanks.. yep. We're ok where I live but with humidity dropping to 35% and a very hot NW'er blowing it only takes some dry lightning to turn everything upsidedown!

I'm in Victoria and yes, very sad and scary. We were lucky that near us were only small grass fires. At one point there were 40 fires across Victoria. The worse near us was at Craigieburn which was minor compared to the larger fires in rural Victoria. It's fairly safe in the suburbs near where I am and we have a fire station not far away.

I'm just glad it's cooler today, it reached over 44 degrees celsius yesterday.

yes, very scary, our son lives near Cranbourne and the last few days whilst Carrara'ing I had the ABC radio tuned into the rolling coverage.

He was well safe from the fires but did say that there was a lot of black ash dropping into his yard and lots of smoke around.

Yesterday here was 42c till 4.30pm when the southerly buster hit and it dopped to 20c pretty quickly.

a lot cooler today with high altitude smoke from the Vic fires passing us by and landing in Sydney. It's 19c at the moment and overcast.

The largest of the many fires in Victoria is larger than the area of London, to put into perspective.

Glad you @Pendraia are in a safer area. :inverted:

Thanks @Stezza. I'm glad to hear your son and his family are safe. Cranbourne iirc is further out than we are. I was worried about my young brother as he is in Eynesbury which is close to Melton but still very rural in some ways. Luckily the fires out that way weren't close enough for them to be evacuated but they did get stay alert notifications. My step-niece was evacuated and had a few difficulties getting out but she is with her partner now in an evacuation centre.

Victoria is a very large place despite being one of Australia's smaller ones. Compared to many other places it's quite large though so the fires you saw on the news were never close to where I am.
Stezza is not in Victoria but higher up the east coast.
The closest we came was some very small grass fires probably started by kid or thru someone being silly.
Thank you for caring.

You wouldn't believe it ... after Victorians were put through catastrophic wild fires only last week, yesterday a small holiday town on the south east coast of Victoria which went through those fires was rain bombed and taken out into the ocean!
