Overview
Above-normal fire potential is predicted for much of Australia for the upcoming fire season, according to expert assessments from climatologists, meteorologists and state based fire-agency personnel. Also expected is an early start to the fire season in southern and eastern Australia. These conclusions were reached during the inaugural Seasonal Bushfi re Assessment Workshop, held in June at the Bureau of Meteorology Head Office. Fire potential is the likelihood of bushfire events influenced by factors including fuel conditions, weather, climate and fire-fighting resource capability. This report updates the initial findings of the workshop, utilising the latest climate and weather information.
