The Australian bush fires have captured the attention of the world and ABC10 Chief Meteorologist Monica Woods is here to examine just how much the bush fires have grown.

California: I have the worst fires
Australia: Hold my beer.

Thank you very much to the American and Canadian fire fighters who helped us here in Australia. Especially to the the people who lost their life’s in the fire bomber plane crash .RIP

Hello! I'm an Aussie from the future, the fires have ended.

Edit: thanks for the likes

Oh no! I thought for all these years I lived in Adelaide, South Australia, but your map has wiped us out of existence... Ha Ha!

[talanmaryott]

This is insane half a billion animals have already died in Australia and more to come it’s terrible

[amanshandil]

Amazon fire: we have big fire
Australia: well yes but actually no

[easyequine]

in Australia even when it Is winter we still get fires. I remember a massive fire during winter this year right near my house and it spread like crazy

[scottbrandts]

Thank-you for bringing awareness to our battle here in Australia.
To the world outside Australia, we continue to be appreciative of your empathy and blessings, and to all those who have sent and contributed their aid in whatever way possible.
We love and thank you.
🇦🇺❤️🌎

A lot of California's problem is that they planted huge areas with Australian eucalypts in the 1800's gold rush years. Which are extremely inflammable, the literally explode in bushfires.

Brazil sympathizes with the fires and sends resources to Australia. More love and less judgment.

It’s crazy that not really half but half of Australia is on fire

[The_Bear_Is_Watching]

The location of the fires on that map doesn’t look very accurate- especially the ones in Northern and Western Australia

[LoneWolf-shph]

Did anyone notice Adelaide
was missing from the map?

[TomHoops]

Lol remember when people freaked out about the amazon

[phloxazure]

*Thankyou. Thankyou so much to anyone who has made donations. It makes my sky just a little bit clearer to know that people who have never been here have been generous enough to help out in any way they could. I love you all and may the new year treat you well. <3*

She completely missed the Cyclone making landfall over Northern Western Australia and the tropical low threatening to turn into a cyclone heading straight for Darwin on her satellite map

[stonecoldhitman]

Thank you for clearly stating the problem and providing context and perspective by contrasting it with the California wild fires

[albertng]

I feel very sad for the animals impacted by the fire. Horrible to watch!

[nathanclarke]

America had the least amount of firefighters out of any country that came to help us in Australia plus the were exhausted after a month but the nsw rural fire service just kept going as one US firefighter said in his 27 year career he has never seen anything like the fires across Australia before

I’m sorry but Australia isn’t that green, especially in central aus where it’s almost always about 35°
