Australias massive heatwave intensifies, with millions facing scorching temperatures up to 42°C. Seven million in Melbourne and Adelaide are most affected, as the heat spreads across multiple states until Sunday. Western Australia kicked off the heatwave on Monday, with fire warnings and health alerts. Tuesday saw the heat push eastward, fueled by dry air from central Australia. Moderate to fresh winds will make conditions tougher before a cooler change hits some areas. Residents in Victorias Central, South West, and Wimmera regions are on high alert for potential bushfires. Extreme fire dangers cover vast parts of South Australia. Health experts warn that multi-day heatwaves affect everyone, not just the elderly or pregnant. Things are set to worsen over the weekend, with temperatures potentially reaching 46-47°C in spots like Mildura, Ouyen, and Balranald. Sydney starts milder at 33°C on Wednesday but jumps to 40°C by Saturday. Stay hydrated, check on neighbors, and keep an eye on official updates as the heatwave continues.
