About the outlook
The Seasonal Bushfire Outlook reflects the priorities in each state and territory for the coming months given the expected climate conditions.
It identifies areas of increased risk of fire so communities are aware and primed to take appropriate action. It is not intended as a prediction of where and when bushfires will occur.
