Southern Australia had been in the grip of a heatwave for several weeks, which intensified in the leadup to Black Saturday. Temperatures in Victoria exceeded a record-breaking 47 degrees for several days and this, together with the tinder-dry countryside, provided the start to the bushfires. Hot, gusting winds fanned the flames and caused them to quickly spread.

This resulted in more intense fires which were very difficult to extinguish.
