There are several natural and man-made factors that can lead to bushfire conditions.
- Atmospheric conditions that cause lightning storms can result in bushfires. This is when a warm front meets a cold front. Statistics indicate that most bushfires are caused by lightning strikes.
- The intensity of bushfires is increased by dry vegetation, often after a period of heatwave, together with strong, gusting winds, and absence of precipitation. Droughts and prostrated heat are classic conditions for causing bushfires.
- A man-made condition that causes bushfires is sheer idiocy. Bushfires are, unfortunately, commonly caused by man's activities, whether arson or unintentionally lighting the fires such as by tossing cigarettes out of car windows, or not extinguishing campfires properly.
- High winds, coupled with dry air, can cause bushfires. Gusting winds cause faulty power lines to spark and arc, which easily ignites the vegetation into bushfires.

Can A Bushfire be Predicted?
An actual bushfire cannot be predicted, but bushfire conditions can certainly be predicted.

However, the weather plays an important part in bushfire conditions, and "bushfire danger" warnings vary from low to extreme (and now a new category - "catastrophic" - has been added to the levels).
