@Ben_Domensino Sydney tomorrow sub 20 %RH on a south easterly! It’s just being wrapped around from Vic? Pretty unusual? I’m not often looking at SE RH but I would have thought that’s very low?

Oodnadatta's final maximum temperature today was 38.5°C. This is more than 16°C above average for this time of year. It's also the highest winter temperature ever observed in South Australia, obliterating the previous record of 36.5°C from the same site on August 12, 1946.

@kentphotos @NorthBayNews 37?

I’ve lost count over 37 years how many days I’ve covered the Sonoma County Fair. Trust me when I say it’s way more than 37 days. @NorthBayNews

Awesome front page image and clean use of @kentphotos as an nasty fire season kicks off in California

@kentphotos Picture editor-“I want results , not excuses”

I phone does not do this justice. At all.

@kentphotos @NorthBayNews Looks like my undies

Are you a journalist covering wildland fires? This is why you wear PPE. This portion of a helmet shroud covers an ear. @NorthBayNews

@Mozziebites Zzzzzzzzbzzzzzzzzzwe bzzz mizzzed you Cambzzzzz

Hello summer! 🦟🦟🦟

@benjoshep @Optus Not yet , they are still on hold but “apparently their call is important” so the IT desk will get back to them soon

Just saying, has anyone told @Optus to turn it off and back on again? #OptusOutage #Optus

@benjoshep Yeah I was like ……well that’s problematic

Some days are just… shit. This afternoon as lightning moved through the north of the state it sparked numerous new fires. Started my day with 78 fires finishing with 118. 😐 #nswfires #rfs

@kentphotos @smh Ta mate.

A friend of mine from Australia, @nampix an excellent photographer for @smh and volunteer firefighter, chronicles a recent strike team deployment, in what figures to be a very dangerous fire season in NSW.

This year's positive IOD just keeps getting stronger. 💪 The latest weekly IOD index value of +1.85ºC is only 0.3ºC below the peak of the record-challenging 2019 positive IOD event. More details on what this means for Australia here: weatherzone.com.au/news/positive-…

Due to stronger than forecast winds along the Far South Coast, Catastrophic fire danger is expected this afternoon. For your survival, avoid being in fire risk areas today. Stay up to date, review your bush fire survival plan and know what you will do if a fire threatens.

It's not even midday and Ulladulla is already having its hottest September day on record. 🥵 It had reached 32.6ºC by 11:40am, beating its old September record of 32.3ºC from 2017. Data for this site is available back to 1991.

Absurd early-spring heat is about to hit #Sydney. The city is forecast to see 5 consecutive days >28°C. This has never been recorded in September before, with records dating back to 1859!

The Bushfire Seasonal Outlook for Spring has been released by @AFACnews. Large areas of central and northern NSW are expected to see increased risk of fire this spring along with parts of the coast and ranges not affected by the 2019/20 fires. More details brnw.ch/21wBTAI

@kentphotos Any fires started?

This has been an almost unbelievable lightning day for several parts of the state. This is the most recent capture two minutes ago.

@kentphotos Chemtrails is why

Why is it that when I check my phone it’s either 9:11 or 4:20?

@bencubby Tell me you know what to do with a swag?

How did I make it to my 40s without knowing you’re meant to ‘season’ pans

I am very concerned about the overall pattern for tornado outbreaks this early spring as we finish March and into April. Long-range models show a pattern we see every 10 years or so - massive high amplitude storm system after storm system. Time is now to mentally and physically prepare for the coming weeks

@TransportforNSW appalling conditions on 199 bus in 35c heat Collaroy. Non operating air con with full bus. Many distressed elderly and children. My child with heat stress. Driver stopped multiple times for no apparent reason for 10 mins at time and refused to open doors for air.
