Our summers are always dry, so it's hard to tell yet whether this one is unusual, but I do no our bush fire season has started early.

it was our spring that was really dry here I think  she-ele and we don't usually get 40 degree temps until late Jan early Feb.. but we've had quite a few already

the farmers know, they thave to keep records of it all to try and stay stay on top of things

I think most States have had an early start to  bushfires. If they continue at this rate there won't be much of Australia left by March.

I thought it got hot earlier because of Daylight Savings.

Lol ecar, you could be right 🙂

That Daylight Savings upsets the cows and curdles their milk, puts the chickens off laying, fades the curtains and the outdoor furniture, changes the rhythm of the tides, causes small children to become overtired earlier in the day, lets the air out of your tyres (but really slowly so you don't notice until your steering goes wobbly), upsets the lovely ladies at the CWA, interferes with CB radio transmission, makes beer go flat overnight, turns shiny copper coins brown, and has been identified as the leading cause of many instances of as yet uncorroborated incidents.

It's a wicked thing, that Daylight Savings.
