While winter continues in the United States, Australia is in the summer months meaning bushfire season. I have been wondering about bushfire danger in Australia and while I am not in the position to know weather conditions and attendant bushfire danger in all of Australia I do know that Victoria, Australia is experiencing extreme bushfire danger today (February 16 and 17th). According to this February 16th ABC News report and the video I shared above dry fuels and high winds in Victoria mean extreme bushfire danger, however weather conditions may change to lower this extreme fire danger later on.
