Australia is facing extreme weather conditions as millions prepare for soaring temperatures, with heatwave warnings issued for Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland, where temperatures may exceed 45°C. The first week of summer has seen a dramatic 50°C temperature range across the country, with Sydney experiencing temperatures up to 39°C. Fire danger remains high, particularly in NSW, following recent bushfires that destroyed homes and tragically resulted in a firefighter’s death. Forecasts suggest severe heat may persist, especially in central regions, with warnings continuing into Friday.
