00.59

heatwave

atrocious fire fighting conditions 
grass fires travel fast 
catastrophic 
They are easy to start and spread quickly, particularly as there has been plenty of grass on the ground following two wet summers in 2011-12


strong winds fanned the flames 
we've never seen conditions like it 

the authorities ability to manage outbreaks 

where the smoke is heading 
hottest day on record 

the length severity and extent of the heatwave unprecedented  
scorching conditions 

delaying the northern monsoon 

appalling
