There is a catastrophic fire danger alert in place for parts of South Australia tomorrow. It's the first outing for the new fire warning, which is explained in the PSAs along the lines of 'Leave immediately, or you may die.'. It will be 39 degrees C, !00F, which is part of a month of record heatwave conditions for the state. It's still SPRING. Summer looks horribly grim.

Were you in Canberra in 2003? :( I had just moved away a month or so before, I was so worried about everyone I'd left!

I definitely agree with you about the Catastrophic warning. I'm hoping they can work out how to use it properly to really emphasise when we do have those extreme exceptional conditions.
