Forecast map of the weather bureau on the eastward sweep of heat waves from western Australia
A growing heat wave in Western Australia will rise to more than 40 degrees Celsius over the weekend and sweep across the country next week into parts of New and Kunzhou, where forest fires are raging.
As of yesterday, dozens of forest fires in New and Kunzhou had destroyed more than 1 million hectares, killing four people and burning more than 300 house.
Weather Administration speaker Bennet (Neil Bennett) said the slightly lower temperatures are expected to ease forest fires in parts of the new state in the next few days, but forest fire threat is far from over and is likely to return to high-risk conditions in the event of a resurgence of hot and hot weather.
Forecasts provided by the weather bureau show that temperatures in dark red areas of Western Australia will be as high as 45 degrees Celsius over the weekend before carrying huge heat waves to the east coast on Tuesday.
The problem, Bennet said, is that we have a large area of forest fires on the east coast, and although the cool weather eased slightly over the weekend, we were pushed up by the heat wave in Western Australia next week.
Although preliminary weather forecasts suggest that maximum temperatures will reach 40 degrees next Tuesday in some parts of eastern Xinzhou and parts of southeastern Kunzhou, meteorologists will closely monitor wind direction and wind conditions to determine whether to issue forest fire weather warnings.
