Last year, Australia saw its warmest year on record since national temperature records began getting consistently documented in 1910, according to the Australian government's Bureau of Meteorology's annual climate report. The bureau's head of climate monitoring, Karl Braganza, said in a statement that the record warm year was a key determinant of the the fire conditions.

"2019 was consistently warm, but it was book-ended by periods of extreme heat," Braganza said. "January last year was the warmest month Australia has ever recorded, while just a few weeks ago in December, we saw the Australia-wide record hottest daily average maximum temperature broken multiple days in a row. At the same time, rainfall deficiencies across large parts of eastern Australia have continued to increase, unfortunately exacerbating both drought conditions and the current bushfires."

Unfortunately, these conditions look like Australia's future.
