Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. It's your boy AG and today we are watching record-breaking heatwave hits Australia day. This is actually news and I have been hearing a lot of news around Australia around the heatwave and I recently got a comment on my video too from Dr. Boris01. He said that you guys are getting a temperature of around 40° C for 8 days straight. Wow, that is insane guys. So that is why we are watching this and I wonder if this happens every year or if this is actually due to the global warming due to a lot of climate things. We humans are destroying the nature. Maybe that could be the reason.
So let's start.
I'm excited.
And before I start, hit that subscribe button. Right now I have five subscribers. You could be one of them after this. So do it. Let's just start now.
Look at that sky cam right now in Melbourne. That smoke haze was heavy over the weekend as well and doesn't seem to be lifting anytime soon.
For more on the conditions around Australia, we are joined by country fire authorities Jason Hef, senior meteorologist Sarah Scully and Brent Maner from Surf Life Saving New South Wales. Let's start off with you Jason if we can.
What is the latest on the bush fires in Victoria this morning? We know that the conditions over the weekend has fueled those fires.
Yeah, we've still got six major fires burning across Victoria. but all focus at the moment is on that Carlisle River fire with temperatures and conditions tomorrow. I'm very concerned about that fire and where it will end up. And we'll be talking to communities a bit later this morning about specifically what we want them to do in and around the Carile River Fire area. but today tomorrow we'll see the start of an 8-day stretch potential 8day stretch of above 40° for the northern parts of Victoria including the Wwa fire area. So it will be a very challenging day for firefighters on Tuesday. But to be frank, it'll be a challenging week for community and firefighters more generally as they continue to sort of do the great work that they're doing on the fire grounds across Victoria.
I guess the concerning thing Jason is when you look at the map there of Victoria, you've got those fires that are so far away from each other, right? But so much concentration on those two particular areas and we're still seeing all that smoke haze right across Melbourne. We know the way Rangers as well, you know, it wasn't that long ago Pola Bay was burning. So what's your read on where this situation may now progress to?
Oh man. But we do anticipate. Oh man. So bushfire is the actual reason for the heat wave. People are actually evacuating their homes. We can see it here written. Oh that is sad is so bad. Did it rain after this? This video was I think January 26. So it's already 6 days old. Did it rain after that? Is the condition bit better right now?
In fact, it's almost certain that that Carlisle River fire will spread under tomorrow's conditions. It's quite a large fire area. and thanks to that breakout that occurred the other day, containment of this fire before tomorrow's weather is just simply not possible. So, we are expecting that fire will run and will affect more communities tomorrow and we'll be having a little bit to say more specifically to those communities later this morning with some action that will be going on within those communities.
But don't forget we've still got the Longwood fire and the Wawwa fire as well as the other fires that have skipped them and stretched them over the course of the week. Now they still have hot spots.
We are seeing periodic times of flare ups across those fire grounds particularly in the center of them which our firefighters are also responding to. Under tomorrow's weather conditions, hotspots will become hotter and again will generate smoke and I'm sure more fire responses across the day.
So tomorrow is a day for Victorians again to make sure they've got that Vic emergency app, have their battery powered. That is huge.
Look at the smoke that is coming out. I have heard so much news every year about bushfires in Australia. I don't know what causes this but this is pretty bad even for the animals living there and the residential areas not just near the fires but everywhere this is really bad bad thing to happen is it due to the desert areas due to a lot of heat waves there or is it caused by humans right tuned to their emergency broadcaster because it's going to be yet another interesting day for communities.
Yeah, the conditions couldn't be worse and those warnings to evacuate need to be heeded. Do we know just roughly how many Jason are affected in terms of the community numbers?
We anticipate that there will probably be over 3,000 people affected potentially affected by the Carile River fire if it if it does breach containment lines and run on under tomorrow's weather. So again, we'll be having a bit more to say, but I think you just hit the nail on the head. We will be talking to communities. We will be offering them and giving them specific directions and advice. They will be required to follow that for their own safety and the safety of emergency services.
So again, we'll be issuing those things later this morning. and we are heeding Victorian communities to take the action as required by authorities. Yeah. And we're thinking of all those emergency workers, you know, trying to battle through those awful conditions. Jason, thank you.
Sarah, let's just come to you now as well. Jason did give us a bit of a glimpse into what the forecast is looking like over the coming days. I mean, this heat wave, it's a warning in place right across the country. What temperatures are we expecting? What kinds of conditions do people need to work through?
Yeah, look, the temperatures today are expected to be 45 plus [113 F] across much of South Australia and pushing into parts of northwestern Victoria, central and western parts of New South Wales and even even southern parts of Queensland as well. So really high temperatures and those high temperatures are combining with the windy conditions with a trough approaching reaching extreme about the southwest of South Australia as we head into tomorrow. However, the peak temperatures are expected to shift into the southeastern parts of South Australia, Western Victoria, and central parts of Victoria with extreme fire dangers and a wind change which can really complicate the fire behavior. So, yeah, the severe 48° C, man, that is insane. How do you guys live with that? extreme heat wave conditions look to set to continue well into next weekend. We don't have any strong cold fronts that are expected to flush the heat away. So, yeah, this heat is here to stay, particularly on and north of the dividing range for Victoria, but for the next couple of days, it it is expected to be quite complicated with the fire with regards to that trough moving through with the heat. That's nasty, isn't it?
Okay, let's go to Brent now. Brent, boy oh boy, if it gets warm in Sydney, you're going to have a job ahead of you as people want to go back in the water. There has been plenty of concerns about sharks obviously given the awful events of last week. what kind of measures do you have in place for swimmers just to reassure them?
Yeah, morning Carl. We've stood up additional UAV resources or those drone resources across the majority of the state over the last few days. What we've seen over the weekend so far is the fact that between our aerial assets and our onwater assets where there's been a sighting, we've been able to alert the community quickly, evacuate them, ensure that it's safe to return. Damn, so many people are on the beaches. What psychics? What is happening in Australia? And make sure even the beaches are not safe right now to have a swim this weekend. Do you know the other thing is I'm not sure it sort of branches out a little bit but there are a lot of people it's such a a great boating community in Sydney right do you have any kind of advice on on those going out on a boat on the harbor and and also wider in terms of whether or not they should be getting in the water
I mean I think people just don't know yeah obviously with the events that have occurred over the last week we've seen what happened last week harbor I know that authorities have been providing those warnings to people that are I have to check that out in and around Sydney Harbor. What happened last week in Sydney? The best thing that people can do is just make sure that they're only recreating jumping in the water for a short period of time. and make sure that they're keeping an eye out for each other because if you're in there by yourself, you don't have anyone looking out for you and the more people that you can have in and around you probably the safer you will be. Really good advice. and look to everyone who is is not working please be safe this Australia day but all of you guys working on the front lines particularly in Victoria thanks for the job you're doing and also the surf lifesavers we appreciate what you're doing incredible work thank you guys Sarah good morning again we will Damn guys oh that is kind of sad thing to hear about the bushfire I think it happens every in Australia. I don't know why but you know I have heard so many news.
I remember it was I think during COVID 19 it was 2019 2020 where there was a huge bushfire that happened in Australia. I think it so many wild animals were dead so many you know people had to sift to next places during the COVID 19. So I remember that news but why does it happen every year? Is it due to the structure of the Australia? Is it due to the land structure? Is it due to where it's located? Is it due to the heat waves? Or are those heat waves the effect of those huge base bus fires? I would love to know. And how are you guys dealing with that? Let me know in the comments. Stay safe you guys. stay safe, you know, check if what is the condition of the weather right now and only, you know, be in a cool temperature, you guys. And that 40° C is not good for humans at all. I cannot survive on that. Even 30 feels a lot hotter to me.
So, I hope you guys are staying safe, staying cool. And thank you for watching. You know, do help these firefighters with whatever you guys can. You know, I know they cannot fully control these wild bushfires, but they can at least try. They are at least trying. So, that is huge thing to do right now. I hope you guys are safe. thank you for watching. Also, do subscribe if you haven't and I'll see you soon. Let me know what should I check out next. Thank you. ******https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHGHYeZ8TeU
