Christmas and Boxing Day in several states face increased danger of bushfires.

As we head into the Christmas holiday, parts of the country are facing a serious threat - bushfires. With extreme heat settling in, residents in Victoria and South Australia have been warned to be on high alert, especially today and on Boxing Day.

Let's take a closer look at the current situation. In Victoria, multiple bushfire warnings have been issued across the state, with the Grampians blaze being a major concern. The latest warning urges people to stay away from Halls Gap as the fire is still not under control and is moving in a northerly direction. Other areas in the region, such as Bellellen, Black Range, Great Western, Jallukar, Lake Fyans, Londonderry, Moyston, Rhymney, and Willaura North, have also been advised to keep a close eye on the changing conditions and be prepared to evacuate if necessary.

On the other hand, a statewide fire ban has been declared for Boxing Day as temperatures are expected to soar into the 40s. With strong winds also predicted, there are concerns that the Grampians fire could worsen and new ones could break out. For the latest updates on fire warnings, residents can stay informed by checking the relevant website.

Moving on to South Australia, the city of Adelaide is bracing for a scorching hot day with temperatures forecasted to reach 37 degrees. Other parts of the state could see even higher temperatures, with some areas predicted to hit 40 degrees. Although the Country Fire Authority has not yet issued any fire warnings, total fire bans are in place in the west and Mount Lofty ranges. However, the situation is expected to escalate on Boxing Day, with strong and hot winds adding to the fire danger. Just like in Victoria, residents are advised to stay updated on the fire warnings through the designated website.
