Victoria's Summer Double Threat: Floods & Fires
Update: 2025-11-27
Description
Victoria braces for a double threat this summer: flash floods and bushfires. Popular holiday spots like Phillip Island, Mornington Peninsula, and Otways are vulnerable. Despite a wet start, conditions could become catastrophic, potentially rivaling the Black Saturday or Ash Wednesday fires. Ten percent of bushfires are caused by unattended campfires, emphasizing the importance of proper fire management. Warmer than normal temperatures could quickly dry out potential fire fuels. Emergency services are preparing for various emergencies, including heatwaves and thunderstorm asthma. Sea surface temperatures are above normal, increasing the risk of intense summer rain.
