: Australian officials on Tuesday warned of rising risks of bushfires in the east after about two years of frequent flooding and rain, as a severe heatwave pushed temperatures in several regions, including Sydney, to their highest in two years.
Two bushfires have been downgraded from emergency warning levels overnight, but officials said they could flare up again. No injuries have been reported from the latest bushfires yet but authorities said some residents had to be evacuated. Temperatures are forecast to reach mid-to-high 30 degrees Celsius on Tuesday but conditions are expected to ease from Thursday. The Bureau of Meteorology said hot and dry conditions along with gusty winds will elevate the fire danger levels.
