The rain has been a welcome relief for firefighters across the state's fire grounds, but the NSW Rural Fire Service has warned the fire risk may return

The rain has been a welcome relief for firefighters across the state's fire grounds, but the NSW Rural Fire Service has warned the fire risk may return.

He said temperatures across the north of the state would climb to 40 degrees on Wednesday, before Sydney and the Hunter regions and the south of the state sweated through similar temperatures on Thursday.There are 77 fires burning across NSW with more than 30 yet to be contained, RFS statistics show.

One of the greatest challenges the RFS faces is collecting weather data in remote areas between the bureau's weather stations. To counter this, the service uses portable automatic weather stations, known as Paws.

Incredible scenes as flash flood hits zooAussies are breathing a collective sigh of relief this morning after our thirsty country was showered with rain. The rain is welcome where ever it is needed to help the firefighter to filling in the dam. The animals at the Reptile park must be happy for a cool down!!! Wonderful. I hope it keeps coming. Despite the tragedies of drought, fire & flooding rain, God remains a constant & is good all the time. The seasons are set, there is variation in weather, but climate change aka global warming is an alarmist nonsense. Activism & emotional rants, do nothing to prove otherwise.
