A deep over South Australia (SA) is expected to move East during both Friday and Saturday into the Eastern States.
While this system is expected to bring heavy rains and powerful storms, it will also fuel widespread extreme heat across New South Wales (NSW), the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Victoria (VIC) and Tasmania (TAS) and thus increase fire dangers.
Australians are being warned to prepare for an extreme heatwave striking this weekend and that’s bad news for firefighters.
Meanwhile, ACT chief minister has declared a state of emergency as Orroral bushfire grows to 8% of territory’s land mass and threatens Canberra suburbs.
Extreme heat across NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS – Friday and Saturday
Here a map of the system we are talking about:

During Friday, temperatures in most of Inland NSW, the majority of VIC, ACT and even parts of Tasmania are expected to climb to around 15-18°C above average with peaks into the mid 40’s °C across Northern VIC & Southern NSW.
Melbourne is heading for 43°C (109.4 °F), Canberra for 41°C (105.8°F) to 42°C (107.6°F) which may challenge the January record. Hobart may reach 40°C (104°C) which could also challenge the January record.
During Saturday, the heat is expected to become confined to NSW with widespread extreme heat likely over inland areas, where peak temperatures are likely to reach the mid 40’s (109.4 – 117°F). Coastal areas won’t be miss out though with maximums climbing into the low 40’s (104-110°F).
Dangerous fire warnings across NSW, VIC, the ACT
Such high temperatures will fuel widespread dangerous fire conditions once again across NSW, VIC, the ACT and possibly TAS and ongoing fires may quickly turn out-of-control as conditions deteriorate.

Below some fire prediction maps from the ACT Emergency Services Agency. As you can clearly see, the potential spread area of the fire (red) is much larger than the area already burned (grey). Ember attacks are possible over an even broader area (red and white checks).
