After a couple of milder days in parts of southern Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting a resurgence of the high temperatures seen throughout the Christmas period, with possible severe to extreme fire danger over the next two days.
A broad area of the country will have temperatures 10 to 16 degrees above average for January. Adelaide is expected to reach 41C on Thursday and Melbourne 42C on Friday.
Parts of inland Victoria will have temperatures that climb into the mid 40s over the next two days: Mildura in the state’s northwest is forecast to reach 41C on Thursday and 46C on Friday.
