South Australia facing extreme fire warnings

Large parts of South Australia are facing extreme fire danger warnings.

Fire bans have been implemented across multiple regions, including the Eyre Peninsula, Flinders, Mount Lofty Rangers, and Murraylands.

The state's fire danger period was brought forward two weeks early by the Country Fire Service.

Adelaide is on track to reach the mid-30s today.

The unprecedented temperature will be ten degrees Celsius above the average.

ten degrees Celsius above the average ?? the average SINCE WHEN ??
2015 - " .. the Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council is highly critical of the BoM's process of homogenising climate records...'' ''"It should explain why homogenisation consistently turns cooling trends to warming and why pre-1910 records were dropped and, with them, the extreme heatwaves of the Federation drought."

Every year the same story, every year people with lighters, every year.

South Australian residents are well aware when fire season starts and finishes..
Its the mulitple agencies that seem to forget to prepare for it year after year

We should get a reasonable summer this year so the climate crazies will be in their glory.
Pick up points for your Bic lighters will be advertised soon. 😁👍
