tielanThere's a joke that goes:
Australia; the only country on Earth where the second-lowest fire danger is classified as 'HIGH'.
Ten days ago, Sydney had it's first day under a 'CATASTROPHIC' fire danger rating (LOW-MODERATE, HIGH, VERY HIGH, SEVERE, EXTREME, CATASTROPHIC).
This is what the world looked like around 5pm that day, with smoke from the fires up north, and the city hushed in uncertainty:
Ten days later, while sections of NSW are still quite very much on fire, and parts of Victoria have caught fire, Sydney has had a cool change come through.
There's a little bit of rain - not even enough to fill the small water tank, though.
( today's weather in contrast )
The cooler weather should be sticking around Sydney for a week (where 'cooler' right now means 23-33C, yes, I know) with intermittent showers. It's not the steady rain we need, but we'll take it over CATASTROPHIC fire days anytime!
