💨 Abstract

Australia's south experienced a severe heatwave on Wednesday, with temperatures exceeding 40°C in some cities, leading to health warnings, power outages, and bushfires. The conditions were the worst in six years, reminiscent of the 2019-2020 Black Summer fires. Severe heat warnings were issued for multiple states, with extreme fire danger in Victoria and South Australia. Authorities advised residents to stay indoors and hydrated.
