The burn happened...both days...article in today's paper, but just the same press release!
Certainly not the 30-30-30 conditions of last time...
Methinks they should have waited for that, but are now caught in a web of media and promises made etc...
But

It has been hot and dry here over more than a month now.
While there is abundant water in the veld, the vegetation will dry out faster than normal, IMO, regarding the South.
I think unplanned burns will start early...

Hopefully they will be able to keep them under control and not sleep through the whole thing switching off the phone

The weather is now getting dangerous...extreme temps, wind, and no hope of rain yet...
Bone-dry, including Transfrontier Park, according to weather maps!
Rivers still ok though, and dams?
