An early start to the Australian wildfire season as serious fires are burning in New South Wales, near Sydney. Several booksellers in the Blue Mountain area have been posting blow-by-blow accounts, on a book dealer chat board, of the fires and evacuations.
The early spring has been hot and dry down there and the GFS, 00 UTC, 500 mb analysis below shows that a strong front crossed NSW yesterday. The front was dry, but accompanied by very strong winds that worsened fire conditions.
